Hello.
As we know
NoScript v5, installed for the first time, contains a pretty short default whitelist of sites, which are required - for example - by the add-ons Mozilla website, YouTube, GMail, Google Maps etc. Not to mention
noscript.net site. But that's obvious. Anyway, we can see e.g.
youtube.com,
ajax.googleapis.com,
googlevideo.com,
yahoo.com,
paypal.com,
hotmail.com,
msn.com just to name a few.
There are also some of the so-called "pseudo URL's" (
about:xyz,
moz-safe-about:,
resource:) and they can not be removed, because of a browser etc. Of course, there could not be missed some websites related to CDN (
Content
Delivery
Networks), which is - quoting the FAQ page (please see below) -
"providing common, well known and verified JavaScript libraries and frameworks to popular websites". On the list there are, among others,
ajax.aspnetcdn.com,
bootstrapcdn.com,
code.jquery.com and so on.
So, I would like to ask a question: does
NoScript v10 Users should or should not add mentioned sites (especially, I'm thinking about CDN)? If yes, then which preset should be used:
TRUSTED or
CUSTOM with needed options? Yes, I know that some sites are "
required by popular credit card verification systems". Or maybe Users should not doing anything and leave everything as-is? Even Users whos removed some of whitelisted sites etc.
I'm asking about all these things, because after
NoScript v5 to v10 update, there was not any of sites mentioned, for example, in FAQ (see below). Except YouTube related sites. If I remember correctly, I'd removed some of these websites a couple of years ago when v10 was not available yet.
More informations can be found on the excellent
NoScript FAQ site;
https://noscript.net/faq#qa1_5 and
https://noscript.net/faq#qa1_11. If someone would like to know what CDN is in general, please see;
https://www.incapsula.com/cdn-guide/wha ... works.html.
Geez, I'm so confused... Anyway, I'm sorry for my very naive questions.
Thanks, best regards.
