Suggestion: Allow all scripts on current tab

[Nereid]

Occasionally there are some situations where I don't want to risk having blocked scripts break some site behaviour. For example, there are certain online payment systems which need JavaScript, but for which the whole process goes through several different domains, so scripts have to be enabled for each one. In one situation I've accidentally made a payment twice because of a page reload after enabling scripts on that domain. (I got my money back of course, but it caused some unnecessary hassle and worry.)

So, my suggestion is simply to have a button to allow all scripts on the current tab only, similar to the one that allows scripts globally.

I guess there are some details to think about. For instance, do we allow all scripts except for untrusted ones? Do we also allow scripts on new tabs/windows opened from the tab that has scripts enabled?

To understand the difficulty and risk that this poses, please see the sticky post, Why must I "Temporarily allow all this page" REPEATEDLY?.

If this is a problem at the pay sites, you may open NoScript Options > General, and uncheck
"Automatically reload affected pages when permissions change". > OK.

You can always re-check that box when you are done with a site that causes this problem.
Also, if you frequently use the same pay-sites, and are satisfied with the trustworthiness of their script sources, permanently whitelisting them avoids such issues in the future.

I always un-check this. I can understand why it's the default, but I much prefer to control things manually. Especially since I use RequestPolicy as well; I can whitelist sites in both addons, then reload once.
