Could we get a feature that shows the differences after allowing a particular site?
For example, let's say if I suddenly allow example.com, three new images appear, along with a new font. If I then clicked "Compare diffs", I'd be shown a list of the code required to load these new items.
I often have to temp-allow a site to see if it'll load the content I'm trying to get at (most often video players). But many times, I can't see where the differences are between page loads. I understand differences aren't always viewable via front-end, so it'd be great if we could get a feature that diff-compared the page's source between loads and shows us these highlighted differences.

Re: "Show differences" feature
The page source is not actually different. NoScript just prevents scripts from running, it doesn't remove the tags from the page.
For viewing the contents of JavaScript, Firefox has a bunch of built-in tools, or you can using something like Firebug.

Well, scripts might change the DOM, maybe that's what the OP meant but I really don't know how such a feature could be implemented, probably sort of like the Update Scanner extension at most.

^This. I'm referring to when scripts load that further alter the page, adding to it.dhouwn wrote:Well, scripts might change the DOM, maybe that's what the OP meant but I really don't know how such a feature could be implemented, probably sort of like the Update Scanner extension at most.

This sounds pretty far away from NoScript core functionality, and not easy to do. It's more of a candidate for Firefox Developer Tools.
