Scripts hidden from Noscript

Post by chihwahli »

Hello,

I noticed that some websites hide script somehow and video content is not displayed.
I wonder if Noscript can help undercover the problem.

Which website: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ot ... -ascendant
What I did: I allowed every script on this website. I allowed Flash to play.
Results: Just a black screen.

Extra actions required to play video:
- richt click on blackscreen for video
- select play
- A new script is shown, Noscript detects it, I allow it in Noscript.
- Total about 2-3 scripts that are hidden, only then the video starts to play.

Probably the site does not "hide" the new scripts, it just loads them dynamically as you interact with scripts you've just allowed.
NoScript cannot implement "divination" superpowers to foresee which scripts will be loaded next, unfortunately.
On the other hand, the "Recently blocked" submenu may help in case some necessary script source goes unnoticed because of redirections.

Ah thanks for the reply. I see. Not much I can do then, then just right clicking mouse, etc.
Wish you a good day.

I saw nothing odd.
Allowed kickstarter.com & some ###.cloudfront.net domain, clicked the placeholder & the clip played.
