Noscript and malwarebytes anti-exploit, compatible?

Post by thanks-4-answers »

Does anyone know if noscript and malwarebytes anti-exploit are compatible, I know they are quite different in what they do, and especially how they do it: noscript is a firefox add-on, mbae is a program, noscript blocks scripts before they can load at all, mbae blocks known exploit methods if they try and go any further once the script is run. But I wanted to know if they run well together?
I use firefox as my main browser but chrome occasionaly, in firefox I have noscript and adblockplus both installed and running, I have an antivirus running as well.

Will noscript and mbae get into conflicts with each other both trying to use the same things at the same time for example, or are they sufficiently different in their methods of operation that they will never conflict with one-another?

I think noscript is brilliant, the only reason I want to run mbae as well is because sometimes I need to allow scripts on certain pages and it isn't impossible that scripts from a once trustworthy domain might suddenly be no longer so. And I might allow certain things through noscript which were trustworthy a few days back but not know, I think mbae would be a good second layer defence in those sort of cases. And to protect chrome.

I don't know much about MBAE, but NoScript does try to play nicely with others. If MBAE does likewise, then they should be fine.

Does MBAE actually add an extension to Firefox? It would have to do something like that, I would think, to intercept scripts.

I never use MBAE but i use EMET from Microsoft now many years and all runs fine.
EMET btw make your system more secure then MBAE because MBAE only secure a handful programms. EMET secure all programs on your system!
