XSS Warning on Background Tab that loads Media

Oh, no idea what I'm talking about, but I think it's something like that.

Error: Exceeded 20000ms timeout

Thinking that on a media page that auto-plays, if you open multiple links in background tabs, then don't interact with them until > 20000ms, well...


Kind of like how in NoScript 5, ClearClick blocks page refresh until focus is returned to the page (if it was elsewhere).

Got multiple here, then tried to reproduce & couldn't.

Other times that I've gotten similar (I simply tend to dismiss) it was often something like sitename & sitenamecdn which I likened to ClearClick like behavior. So this one is a bit different in that respect.

Code: Select all

NoScript detected a potential Cross-Site Scripting attack

from https://www.crunchyroll.com to https://www.facebook.com.

Suspicious data:
