whitelist - unintentional changes (paypal added)
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:35 pm
Ciao,
today I found two paypal related entries (paypal.com and another) in the whitelist, which I did not add myself.
I do not know how this happened and I am not happy with that.
If the whitelist is changed without my knowledge, it loses its original idea and purpose.
I updated NoScript to 2.1.1.2 yesterday, so maybe that is the reason, or something malicious changed my settings, what would be scary.
NoScript comes with useful default settings for the whitelist, this is a good thing. But if the whitelist has been changed by an update, not informing me in a recognizable way, injecting some commercial domain, this breaches my intentional security settings, and is not understandable for me.
This wonderful addon is made or restricting, it is extremely useful in todays web experience.
But I do not think that the whitelist should be changed unintentional, disabling the previous restriction settings.
So, if the update changed the setting, I am 50% happy, as the reason is known.
To make me 100% happy, I would like to ask to not change an existing whitelist without making it very clear to the user.
regards,
alex
