How Can Noscript Help Me?
Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2021 6:29 am
I have firefox on win10. I'm curious about NoScript. I want to be able to be as secure as possible. But I'm confused as to what it does. So how can it help me be safe?

Note that these are (mostly) separate components: if you decide you want one but not the other, you have the option to only enable/use only the one you want. For example, if you find the default-deny permissions management too cumbersome, you can make it default-allow instead by going NoScript Options > General and check everything in the Default tab. In that configuration you'll still have the XSS filter, and you can still manually block individual sites' active content by setting them to Untrusted.Giorgio Maone wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:10 am its anti-XSS filter protects your trusted websites (e.g. your online banking or your webmail) from cross-site-scripting attacks.
