Issues with the count on the icon

Post by Nutster »

These ideas relate to the current version of NoScript on my computer, NoScript version 10.1.3c3.
  • The icon on the toolbar shows a count. When I open this list, I notice that this count seems to include sites I have already white-listed (trusted) or black-listed (untrusted). I would recommend that that the count on the icon shows only the number of sites that are still set to default (block). Perhaps have a configurable option to select what kinds of site statuses are included in the count.
  • When I set Informaction.com to Default in NoScript, the count that came up was 3, but the list only contained 2 items: https://forums.informaction.com and …informaction.com. Please have the count show the number of items in the list. This makes me think, "Are you missing items in the list or just miscounting potential entries? Are there duplicate sites that get listed once but counted twice?" When I trusted …informaction.com, then the number disappeared as expected, representing 0 sites in default. I guess this is really a bug report after all.

AFAIK The counter lists scripts blocked. It has no relation to the number of sites/items in the list. One site can serve multiple scripts.

Also: this is a misconception.
That information shows you ONE script source, and asks you about which of the rules you want to make.

the scripts run (the number 3) all originate from https://forums.informaction.com but you have basically 3 choices.

1. Do you want to make a rule for that specific exact domain, but not "https://www.informaction.com" for instance.
2. Or do you want to trust/distrust ALL of *.informaction.com. [...informaction.com].
Which leads to a secondary question.
2.1 Do you want to JUST trust https://*informaction.com? In which case you keep the green lock, and create a rule with black text.
2.2 or do you want to trust both https AND http://*informaction.com? In which case you flip the lock to red, and create a rule with red text.

If you want to confirm that you did it right, you can open the debug stream at the bottom of the options.

Rules of the type 1 appear there as full URLS
Rules of the type 2 appear as §:rootdomain (for type 2.1) or just rootdomain(for type 2.2)
