Promoting temp permission to permanent
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2016 7:51 pm
Even in the latest stable NoScript (2.9.0.11), there is no easy way to make specific temporary permissions permanent.
In the Options->Whilelist dialog, it seems that the only way to do this is to:
1. Select the temp permission in the Whitelist
2. Copy it (e.g. Ctrl-C)
3. Click on "Remove Selected Sites"
4. Paste the just copied "(protocol://)domain" into the "Address of web site" field
5. Click on the Allow button
I imagine it would be very easy to add a "Make Temporary Permissions Permanent" nutton to the Whitelist dialog. This would reduce 5 less than obvious steps to 2.
P.S. I have been using NoScript for over 10 years: V 1.1.4 on Linux, 1.1.3 or maybe earlier on Windows. I find it crucial to safe browsing. (On Linux, I have even set up multiple user ids with different NoScript contexts for maximum safety.)
