Here's the report:
Designing for Power Users: A Case Study on NoScript.

We're almost done: Simply Secure is about to publish an extensive report on their work (including screenshots of their interation prototypes), and I'm prototyping the first functional alpha based on their input, hoping to have something to play with by London's MozFest in late October.

It really looks we need synchronous messaging initiated from content (just like in the e10s API), as I advocated for years (since the Chrome extensions API was initially designed).

Thank you very much, that's very interesting. Actually using asyncrhonous XHR was something I was keeping as a last resort since my first attempts to a Chromium porting, and my original idea was trying to redirect to a data: URI, since filterResponseData() is Firefox-only. Did you try something like...

NoScript shows that nothing is blocked (1), but in reality it blocks clicking on the download arrow (2). :cry: My theory: you clicked the checkbox before allowing scripts. Just click it again, and the download button will be enabled (even though now it is unchecked and stating you do not accept the...

How do I read this to see what errors, if any I am getting from importing the FF database?

Inspect the background page rather than the HTML file, and look in the Console tab for red error messages.

It's working fine for me with my reasonably big configuration file: importing is successful and the new settings are persisted across multiple browser restarts. Could you please share (by PM or email) your export file for me to test? Otherwise could you use the Extensions>NoScript>Details>Inspect vi...

Hi NoScripters.
SimplySecure is trying to enhance NoScript's user experience (including a UI overhaul and better documentation), and is looking for volunteers to test their prototypes live.
If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll be glad to provide more details.
Thank you all!

I'm colorblind, so I use custom colors in firefox. With these, the buttons on the NS tool bar button disappear.

You should be able to revert to the normal UI by unchecking NoScript Options>Appearance>High contrast appearance.

Trying clicking 'Direct download link" on "Get It," but could not be found on the server message appears.

Fixed, thanks.

If I assessed this correctly, having that non-functional setting in the export is just confusing, and could provide some people with false sense of security. Would it be possible to exclude the clearclick setting from NoScript Options export until ClearClick is actually available? A prototype was i...

Giorgio just removed the offending line - https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/ ... 8cdec90f6f

I assume this means it will be fixed in next version of NoScript.

... which is already in the Chrome Store queue waiting for approval. Thank you.

Trying to reproduce on build 20190626093633 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0) with no luck (on Yotube).
Any other site/config where you think this could be easier to notice?

Both issues fixed, thanks.

Notice also that "timeout" is probably misleading here, since any standard-compliant name resolution software will likely answer immediately with a "name or service not known" response.
