REQUEST: Automatically allow JavaScript from main url

Hi,

I'm a long-time user of NoScript and love it. However I feel that in general for better usability there should be an option which allows you to always accept scripts from the visited URL, e.g. if I go to mozilla.org all scripts from mozilla.org should be allowed, but external scripts remain blocked until I allow them explicitly.
It's a trade-off but given that I navigated to the page as well, chances are that I'll allow JS anyways, so it would make the usage of NS way more comfortable.

regards,

tuxbox

Options | General -> Temporarily allow top level sites by default

(Some might consider protections to be significantly weakened in using that.)

Indeed, you want to be very careful about where you browse with this option enabled. Also, if a site redirects to another, then both will be allowed.

A better option might be Options-'Allow sites opened through bookmarks'.
