Getting the Video Link is Frustrating

Post by Snappy »

I like NoScript but finding the right domain to watch a video can be a bit of a pain!

It goes like this.....

Opens a site...say a News site...Hmmm...no video...click on NoScript...Temporary Allow this one...nope, not it...go back and Forbid it...try this one...nope not it...go back and Forbid it....try this one....OMG! the video player came up.....oh damn! the video won't play...click on NoScript...20 more Temporary Allow choices just came up...bugger it...closes the site!

Well, at least NoScript saved you the time you would have spent watching the video :D

I can sympathise; it reminds me of when I tried to download the Pale Moon source code from ge.tt (I never did succeed; I had to use another browser). However, this is really more of a website design problem. It's not necessary for sites to be so heavily cross-wired, but it's becoming more and more common. The sad truth is that any one of those domains could be compromised in some way, so the only safe approach is to restrict them all individually.
