McAfee Site Advisor not working?

McAfee Site Advisor keeps telling me that every site is not a valid site or has no data. Has something changed?

I'm sorry but how is this a NoScript support issue? We are not McAfee, you are welcome to ask THEM what changed.

NoScript doesn't directly target or interact with anything created by someone else beyond the scope of what it actually does. So any change in behavior of an installed software is something you should take up with them.

Now if you are referring strictly to the JS loaded badge, then the same rule as any JS resource applies, meaning did you allow it and if so, did you allow related domains, subdomains or whatnot they might use? if so and it still doesn't work, does disabling NS fix it? if yes, then you are not allowing everything necessary and if not then clearly not a NS issue.

What troubleshooting have you actually done beyond "it doesn't work"?

I agree, this would seem to be a Mcafee issue. Example link -

Code: Select all

https://www.mcafee.com/threat-intelligence/domain/default.aspx?domain=duckduckgo.com
.. redirects me to

Code: Select all

https://www.mcafee.com/threat-intelligence/domain/popular.aspx#nodata
Moving to Security.

Yes they have removed the public facing siteadvisor.com and related domain ratings and have replaced it with basically paid or extension driven analysis (they are calling it threat intelligence, an oxymoron for them if there ever was one). Unless you are on the list of what they call popular sites which seem to include trackers and ad servers among them, then you don't have data, aka the nodata tag they add at the end.
