Yellow bar info

Post by Rebel »

I would find it more useful if the yellow alert bar would tell me which scripts were blocked by NoScript, instead of which ones were allowed.

I sometimes have problems getting needed items on a page to load, and I need to know what's blocking them. NoScript lets me know that something is being blocked, but doesn't always tell me what it is.
Example: NoScript says 6 of 14 items on http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/ are allowed. Six of the blocked sites show up in the NoScript Untrusted menu, leaving two unaccounted for.
Tvguide isn't a site I'm having trouble with, it's just an example. Sometimes NoScript shows scripts are partially allowed, but none of the blocked ones are listed in Untrusted, and something still won't load.

Because a site is not listed in Untrusted does not mean it is not blocked.

Any site that is not specifically Allowed, is blocked.

Your screenshot is odd, because the icon shows Scripts Partially Allowed, but everything is either Allowed or Untrusted (ie blacklisted). It should instead be the icon with grey shading over the bottom half.

On the subject of the site not working - what shows up in the Browser Console?

Has to do with the preferences - I had top-level sites allowed, I've now reset it to default and I'll see how it goes. It was too annoying to browse in default mode, that's why I allowed top-level sites.
Now Yellow Bar says Scripts Currently Forbidden.

This is what's there just for the tvguide site ⬇

It's now working like it used to: For a while now I've been missing the allow all this page and temporarily allow all this page items in the menu.
I thought maybe my install was corrupted, but resetting NoScript got them back. 8-)
It's much easier (although not as safe) to surf with top-level sites allowed by default, but I'll just have to deal with it.

I've used NS for several years, and I guess the recent changes I made in the prefs just threw me off.
