What happened to full URL in NS settings?
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2017 9:19 pm
When NoScript first dropped for FF 57, while a few bugs were present, I was overjoyed with seeing the FULL site URLs available in options to choose which to select as trusted. This makes it much easier when navigating to new sites to locate the needed scripts without having to research each and every one and selecting one by one till you get the bare minimum.
Now it has been changed to "....siteX.com"
How can I go back to seeing "http://cdn.siteX.com" (or something similar) in my script options and script button? Honestly I can think of no reason to have removed this as there is plenty of room (even the NS button above the page is zoom-able allowing one to view even the longest URL if it went off screen) and it wastes user time/leads to possibility of less secure environment for many users. Even those of us who normally research a given script could be misled now due to missing information, and other users are ore likely to just guess on which scripts are ok due to the shortened URL lacking information that can usually point to a secure or insecure (or ad) script. This puts NS users in more danger and lessens the effectiveness of your product.
Please let us know how to bring back the full URL if it is possible on our end, and if not please in a future update go back to the more secure formatting as again its very hard to understand why it would have been removed.
Thanks for your hard work and for a great add on that I've been using for years. Really cant stand using the internet without your product and hope you understand the above is just a testament to how good your product can be and how features changes like URL shortening feel almost scary.
