Database of scripts and sources?

Post by Runaway1956 »

Alright - noscript gives us a list of scripts and their sources that it is blocking or allowing. There are times when I'm just not sure whether I need or want something to run. So, I would like to look up quantserv.com and cleanprint.net to see just what they are. (That's just an arbitrary choice of two of the MOST common scripts that are listed in the popup menu)

I can direct my browser to the quanserv.com server and I get a clickable link labeled "Quantcast Measurement Service" which really tells me little. Well - to be fair, the link tells me a good bit more than some other links tell - I KNOW that Quantcast is measuring hits, and searching for "targeted" audiences for advertising. It's perfectly safe to disable this particular script, IMO.

What I'm interested in, is a searchable data base that users can check for one script or another.

I've done a couple searches - if it's right here in front of me, and I'm to blind to see it, I promise to kick myself, LOL

Try middle-clicking on a menu item with a domain in the NoScript menu.

Ahhhh - thank you, dhouwn! I've right clicked, left clicked, but never middle clicked anything. It works!

A page like this one is exactly what I was looking for: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/criteria.htm
