I use noscript when Im browsing sites I dont know. But when browsing sites I know and trust (which include many) I'd like to have all scripts and things allowed within the site. So there is the "Allow all from this site" but it works only on the scripts that were loaded on that page load. Many sites have tens of scripts from other sources aswell and I find it annoying to hit the Allow all from this site button so many times. So I'm asking is there a other SIMPLE one button press way to just really allow all from this site so it wont ask again if new scripts come? This would also have to be site specific ofcourse. I know there is ABE but would that be quite a lot of code to write If I need to write some code to every single page I want to apply this? If there is simple way, please tell me

If there is no way to do it with just one simple way I really suggest there should be one. There could be abe templates and they are added as buttons to settings menu. Pressing the button the abe template is used against the site we are browsing and it would add new abe rule. This way if we have a rule which we need to use often, it could be used by simply clicking one button.

That was an interesting thread. Too bad it ended up in spam and got locked. I understand that this is for security reasons but if user knows what he is doing, he should be let to do that. User understands the risk that there may come malicious scripts on that site afterwards. He would be willing to take that risk since its relatively small. Convenience over security is just better sometimes if we take the windows as an example. This is ofcourse debatable matter. I consider this more like a firewall which first blocks everything and then if I trust the site I grant access. It may still include malware but that was a choice that I should be able to take. If user gets annoyed about it, he may take the bigger risk to allow all globally rather than allow all within just that site.

Perhaps the security model you really want is the Tab Permissions and Host Permissions addons, rather than NoScript. But be warned, they are not as thoroughly tested and proven as NoScript, and they are quirky (particularly if you browse to different sites within the same tab).

The fact of the matter is that a blind 'Allow All This Page' is basically the same thing as 'Scripts Globally Allowed': you choose to allow anything to run, without knowing in advance what it will be. Either you're willing to take the time to look at each domain you're trusting and make a decision about it, or you're not willing to. Trusting all scripts from a specific site, without knowing what they will be, gives an illusion of security.
