Scripts executing when not allowed?? Not Sure

Post by 8-bit »

Question:

There is a certain site I go to semi-frequently. Just by accident, I hovered over a "current weather" icon/image, and it displayed a weather forecast for the location of the site. Here is the link it was accessing:

https:// www. REDACTED .com /speedbump.aspx?link=http:// www. worldweatheronline .com /

NoScript did not detect this, so when I hovered over the NoScript icon in the toolbar, there was no option to block/allow/temp etc.

I allow the TLD but I do not have NS set to cascade permissions nor to allow that 3rd party site (www. worldweatheronline. com)

It may not be a bug of any kind, I just need some information to learn why this is happening. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

What version of NoScript are you using?

Hello 8-bit,

The link you posted doesn't go anywhere. So I tried https://www.worldweatheronline.com/. With no domains allowed with NS it knows where one is and shows the
wheatherforecast for that given location... How that's done however I couldn't tell, maybe someone else can tell you.
