I opened this site:
support.amd.com
then clicked the NoScript icon. The dropdown list had a red entry for:
... amd.com
and also a black entry for:
... amd.com
Both entries were set to the Default button.
If one of these entries is redundant (the black one?), then does that mean there is a bug that causes the redundant entry (the black one?) to be displayed??
Those aren't redundant. If they are actually set rules, THEN they are redundant.
If you look below these two you will find :
http://support.amd.com
https://www.amd.com
This means those two specifically want to run scripts. If you create the black ....amd.com rule it will still block the
second first one (edit my bad, the first one is http), because you created a https only rule.
If you create the red one both will be allowed.
When they show as default, they are "choices", not rules. Rules means there is an entry in the debug output in the options for them.
Rules can be redundant (but shouldn't be, but sometimes are when you make some that already got imported from a previous install). Which means you have 2 rules, one of which already includes the other.
The choices are overlapping by choice, because Noscript tries to guess which different kind of choices would be what you want specifically.
