Suggestion: More Info on Blocked Items

Post by Headley »

It would be helpful to be able to find out what scripts are blocking what elements. E.g. I load a site. It's got a video I'd like to watch, but it won't play. I check NoScript and there are about 40 blocked scripts on the page. Apart from the obvious ones (e.g. brightcove) it's impossible to tell which scripts are blocking the video. Only option is to temp allow all - which I now find myself doing on about half the sites I visit - which makes noscript almost pointless.

It would be helpful if the blocked video element either had a list of scripts in it or if a right click revealed them - or a simple right click on the element to enable all scripts related to it temporarily.

Can't be done, sorry. It is not technically possible to automatically determine which scripts affect a given element. Nor is it always technically possible to automatically determine that an element will be a video.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
