NoScript + Reputation Tracking

Post by croblee »

Does anyone know of an existing solution or effort to incorporate domain reputation tracking (e.g., web of trust ) into NoScript?

Best explained by a simple use-case:
An average user visits some JS-heavy site, and NoScript kindly blocks 12 domains hosting external JS. Some of these domains are familiar to him, and some aren't. How should he know which ones are critical to the site's functionality, trackers, advertising, analytics, known malicious, etc.?

It would be terrific if accompanying each blocked domain, there were a simple indicator as to its reputation, very much how MyWot [1] currently tags search engine results.

I realize this might have been discussed in another thread. If so, please point me there.

Thanks,
Chris

Not exactly the same, but did you try middle click or shift+click the menu items?

That's definitely a step in the right direction, thanks for pointing it out. It would be really useful, however, to have that information embedded in the actual NoScript domain list itself. Perhaps, a simple color-coding scheme would suffice.
