InformAction Forums

Tested on several browsers (existing and new profile), both Windows and Linux.

Noscript 10 does not seem to fully block JS.

Test case:

Noscript 5.x, go to google.com (when it's not whitelisted in any way), you'll get the classic pure HTML page - with black nav bar.
Noscript 10, you get the new white ribbon look.

Also to see if Noscript does the job, open FF 57, about:config, change javascript.enabled to false, restart browser - google page now behaves like 5.x.

Another site to test - Wilders Security Forums (many other similar forum boards actually), with JS off and/or NS 5.x, you get non-JS forum version with correct post frames etc. With scripts controlled via NS 10, the text box is missing, as the site serves a hybrid page that is part JS part server side scripting. Again, verifiable by toggling javascript.enabled on/off via config and checking.

NS 5.x behaves like TRUE no JS blocker when in default mode.
NS 10 does not seem to truly block everything (regardless of profile/platform).

Probably related to <noscript> tags not being displayed - https://hackademix.net/2017/11/21/noscr ... ment-38450

Thanks. It will be interesting if Mr. G finds an elegant workaround.

For the record, this affects functionality as well, not just rendering. Using non-JS google (old Firefox), you can click on, say, "Past week" in the left sidebar on the results page. Using JS, you get the same by clicking the Tools button. With the new NoScript, neither way works (it shows the layout with the Tools button which doesn't do anything).

And the same with those captchas where you need to either click the "I'm not a robot" button (JS) or copy and paste a bunch of symbols (non-JS). Now neither version works if JS is not allowed (haven't tried 10.1.3c1 yet).
