Hi there,I've noticed that when temporarily allowing an untrusted website,once you are done with it and revoke the temporary permission(s),that website is now marked automatically as trusted.
Unless I'm completely wrong,I take this may be the intended behavior to limit the amount of tinkering to make the most visited websites work,but this brings the drawback that I have to mark it as "untrusted"again and then repeat this cycle again:a typical example could be google.com,I have to temporarily allow it to access gmail,but I certainly wouldn't want to have it permanently marked as "trusted" when doing web searches or generally speaking browsing the web:is there any way to accomplish this?
Or,since I'm not so skilled at using NoScript,am I managing permissions the wrong way ?

That should not be.
(Wondering how you're accomplishing that?)
Anything set in Options | Advanced -> HTTPS ?
Or in General, perhaps Allow sites opened through bookmarks, or Scripts Globally Allowed?

Re: Temporary allowing a website marks is as "trusted" ?
Well it goes like that:let's say I have google.com marked as untrusted,and I'm going to log in gmail,I therefore temporarily allow google.com via the addon bar button menu (I never click "Allow all this page",not even temporarily,much less allow scripts globally in the options window),then once I'm done I revoke the temporary permissions from the same menu I've used before or just clicking the dedicated "Revoke Temporary Permissions" addon bar button.
BTW,I haven't allowed sites opened through bookmarks,and haven't tampered with https settings.
But now,it's not like this site is allowed,but isn't listed any more among untrusted sites either,so much so that the menu says "Mark google.com us Untrusted".
Any ideas on what may be going on here?

Re: Temporary allowing a website marks is as "trusted" ?
Ah. That is expected behavior.
Remember, NoScript blocks everything by default. 'Mark as Untrusted' is mostly cosmetic (hiding unwanted sites from the main menu), unless you are using 'Scripts Globally Allowed'. Which is not recommended.
If you have temporarily allowed a site, then it no longer qualifies as 'I don't trust this site and never will', so it gets moved back to the main menu. It still isn't 'trusted' after you revoke the temporary permissions, it's just not hidden any more.
If you use Gmail, then you probably should not mark google.com as Untrusted. Just temporarily allow it when you need it.
And if you are indeed using Scripts Globally Allowed, then you're going to find that your options are more limited, and there are probably much better candidates for blacklisting than google.com (google-analytics.com, for starters).

google-analytics.com is in my hostfile,and permanently marked as untrusted for good measure...Thrawn wrote:If you use Gmail, then you probably should not mark google.com as Untrusted. Just temporarily allow it when you need it.
