So what does that mean for the future of an addon like NoScript? Will it still exist in say, 5 years from now?

Thanks for your reply. Very appreciated. How big are you planning to make your whitelist? At this rate I may have a thousand entries in 3-4 years. I am always on Google Search and discover new sites almost every day, I whitelist the necessery scripts for proper functionallity on the websites that I ...

Hi,

I've read that having a huge NoScript whitelist can slow down the addon over time, is it true?

Does the amount of whitlisted websites affect the performance of NoScript at some point?

Thanks.

Thanks for your answer. Well, after using it for some time now it is definitly lighter than Adblock Plus. Doesn't slow Firefox start up (maybe ~1.5 second) so it's great.

Thanks for your replies. At this point I will stick with NoScript's ''Temporarily Allow Top-Level Domain'' on. Maybe I am looing in security but then the web is a very dull place without the top-level javascripts enabled these days... What difference would it made if I enable them one by one anyway?...

Hi, I find NoScript to be too much of a pain in the a** to set up on a site by site basis, the only way I can use this addon is by temporarily allowing top-level domain. In this way, it's much easier to handle and saves me a lot of time, since the majority of websites out there require top level jav...

Hi, I wanted to know how NoScript compares with other ''blockers'' like Adblock Plus, Ghostery or BluHell Firewall in terms of memory usage and size. Is NoScript considered ligthweight? I ask this because I intend to run this addon on a system with limited ressources (Pentium 4, 2GB RAM). Does a gro...
