Limit JS by domain

Post by Jason88 »

It used to be that you could allow scripts from googleapis.com only on google.com, for example. Now it is no longer possible. If I allow scripts from googleapis.com on any domain they are allowed on all domains. I am curious about the reason noscript was crippled in this way. If I allow scripts from Google in my Gmail, I have to allow Google scripts from everywhere I ever go on the Internet. It almost completely defeats the purpose of noscript.

Contextual permissions have never been possible in "pure" NoScript, actually, but at a certain point there's been an ABE-based work-around.
Unfortunately ABE did not survive the Quantum rewrite (NoScript 5.x -> NoScript 10.x).
Anyway true contextual permissions (UI-based) are coming, likely before this summer.
