Description:

NoScript is Free Software (source code): if you like it, you can support its progress :)The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript,Java,Flash and otherplugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank).NoScript also provides the most powerful anti-XSS and anti-Clickjacking protection ever available in a browser.NoScript's unique whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known, such as Meltdown or Spectre, and even not known yet!)with no loss of functionality... You can enable JavaScript, Java and plugin execution for sites you trust with a simple left-clickon the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.Watch the "Block scripts in Firefox" video by cnet.Staying safe has never been so easy!Experts will agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript!Recommended: protect your Internet traffic, too, with Military Grade Encryption.V. 11.1.3 - Quantum Security for everyone!
