[RESOLVED] Suddenly, every site is flooded with ads

Post by Kvaser »

Hi, first time here, but I've been using no script for many years (seriously, thanks for everything). Since yesterday, every website is displayed as if No Script wasn't working, the result is that I'm flooded with ads, videos, and all the stuff nobody wants when navigating.

Just check some screenshots I took with lightshot:

https://prnt.sc/107ravb

I checked the configuration of No Script and I don't see anything different. Besides, I haven't made any modification to the configuration in recent days, so this situation took me by surprise.

Please help me, is annoying to navigate in this conditions.

Your screenshots are pretty clear: you've (accidentally?) switched NoScript to "Disable restrictions globally (dangerous)", which is almost like disabling it.
Just open NoScript Options and uncheck this one in the General tab.

Thanks Giorgio, that worked for me!

Probably I switched the option by accident, I don't remember :/

Thanks again ;)

Whoever marked this thread Invalid, can you please change that - this is a support thread, nothing here was intended as a bug report.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
