New noscript interface

[zetaS]

Please if it is possible to make a video tutorial of the new version. Thanks to everyone for the hard work.

Also on my second monitor the menu just is unreadable. It only works right on my main monitor.
This is what it looks like on my second monitor:

I can't help with the size problem. It looks fine on my second screen despite running a lower resolution.

I suspect the issue is my main screen is high resolution but I also have windows scaling set to 200%

My second monitor is a lower resolution but the scale is set to 100%

It seems like no script is using the 200% scaling setting from the main monitor for the second monitor too.

Same here. Primary monitor scaled 125% and secondary screen scaled to 100%.
On Primary Screen all os fine, on 2nd screen the Window is scaled bad. with V10.1.5.5



When I right-click into the window - (somewhere) It rescales correctly !

Don't get me wrong, I really love the functionality and I also paid for noscript.

BUT: PLEASE!! Could you PLEASE bring back the old interface? The new one is confusing, too big in size and not usable. I'm seriously thinking about deinstalling noscript because of the bad usability.

THANKS!

And all this "ns5 was so intuitive" talk is just factually not true.

Really? Let's see your facts.

Here's a fact — I never visited this forum, saw a manual, did anything with NoScript prior to 10.x but use it. I'm betting I was the rule, not the exception. I think the level of traffic here since 10.x would substantiate that as well. The choices were obvious because they were words, and they were mutually exclusive — temporarily allow this, permanently allow that, permanently allow everything on this page. We didn't have to guess at icons, we didn't have to click five things to make a single thing happen. You can call that intuitive, or clear, or whatever you want, but the fact is that it was both of those, because there was no ambiguity or confusion to the choices. There is all of the above with the current UI.

"The UI has to change because of WebExtension." Great, no problem. But just because it has to change doesn't mean it has to be incomprehensible. And it is, in general, incomprehensible. That is an opinion, but it is an educated one, and it is one held by a large number of people, people who successfully used the old UI for a long time. The 10.x traffic here isn't predominantly "Put the old UI back", it's "The new UI is incomprehensible!". Sometimes it's both, but the instances of the former are caused by the latter. If the new UI was clear and comprehensible, very few would care that the UI had changed.

Now, NoScript is free software, which means Giorgio is free to do whatever he wants, including making his UI incomprehensible, and leaving it that way. I don't think that's his goal, however. But it is the current result. IMO he ought to throw the UI out and start over. There is no reason a WebExtension UI can't be clear and comprehensible, and plenty of examples that prove one can. NoScript isn't one of them.

After holding off updating firefox from v49 then updating FF to v62.03 and having to add back NS, all i can say is learning curve is horrible to deal with.
It looks simpler, but definitely is not.
I was use to how it worked where stuff was....
I feel like I'm being punished when trying to use NS atm.

I do understand it's meant to be more configurable in a simple manner, but it misses the mark by a long shot compared to old versions, for me anyway.

Yours not so sincerely...

Thanks for the feedback, but it's too vague to be actionable. If you would like to request change in the UI, please provide specifics and details of what exactly you find "horrible" and what you feel needs simplification.

To me it is incomprehensible how the new GUI can be incomprehensible. I can understand that one may have to get used to such a big change and that one may be disappointed about the loss of quite a lot of functionality, but I don't understand the outrageous exaggerations about usability.

That doesn't mean that the new GUI couldn't be improved, because everything can be improved. For example, NoScript can be difficult to use sometimes, because there is no information about what is being blocked for the listed sites.

Hello.

I would like to answer to short barbaz phrase. I mean: "If you would like to request change in the UI...". That's true and You could start a new thread and write about your ideas etc. It's really amazing and simple. Here is a list of four threads about NoScript v10 User Interface, some technical changes, that I created:

✗ https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... =7&t=25149
✗ https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... =7&t=24434
✗ https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... =7&t=24668
✗ https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... =7&t=25108

Unfortunately, I don't have a direct links to another threads. However, they still should be available somewhere on informaction forum. Anyway, I have some more ideas for both aspects: UI and technical/core functionality etc.

Good luck, No enjoying it!

Best regards.

Hello, under the custom tab there's sometimes a red box underneath ex. script, why is that? I've spent the past hour searching for an answer to no avail, perhaps i'm blind. thanks in advance.

Hello, found an answer to my own question: "the red background behind a checkbox means NoScript blocked a request for that kind of content, so you can see what's being blocked for each domain"
