NoScript Reviews and details

• What It's Like to Use Apple's Lockdown Mode

  You should check out https://noscript.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Is javascript always bad?

  Good or bad depends on the intentions of the website you're visiting, and unfortunately also of the many 3rd party script sources it includes. Users should have a chance to decide which sites they trust to run JavaScript and which they do not, and this is the reason why 18 years ago I've created NoScript, and why it is still there and shipped by default inside the Tor Browser.

• PSA: We're all ripe for phishing attempts while looking for Reddit alternatives

  Use a different name, password, and email if you can. Keep an adblocker and noscript handy. Don't accept cookies from new sites. Maybe even use the TOR browser for better anonymity and safety while you're giving these new platforms a test run. Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Browsing the web with JavaScript turned off?

  I do (with the NoScript browser extension: https://noscript.net/). The main reason is to reduce my attack surface. A secondary benefit is it eliminates most ads and other annoying distractions. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• GitHub Stars as a FOSS Metrics? 🤔

  I'll give an example of NoScript which is a great project that you should be using. Most people download the extension directly though their browser. Firefox shows 317,244 active users and Chromium shows 100,000+ users. Some people know of the website. Less people know of the GitHub project the NoScript Common Library (nscl). NoScript has 645 stars and nscl has 15 stars. 417,244+ active users and only 660 stars.... Source: 12 months ago

• Always double check the url

  Use NoScript if you suspect that a site may contain viruses. The website won't be able to run ANY malicious scripts if you disable scripts. No, HTML in and of itself cannot execute viruses as it is literally just "plain text with formatting". The stuff you have to worry about here are scripts such as Javascript, network attacks (HTTPS can prevent this) and downloading malware. Source: almost 1 year ago

• What is the best way to learn LaTex?

  By today's experience, I point to learnlatex.org as point of entry. It equally is among the resources / getting started (column on the right). On the landing page, choose your language / script and start -- don't worry about installation, train at your pace. Each track is about the same basics plus a few (but very helpful) details specific to the language in question. All you need is a web browser with support... Source: over 1 year ago

• Website Bypasser doesn't work

  I think part of the problem is the SS bypass function is just not great. Another part might be not having everything whitelisted that needs to be. For example, using the NoScript browser plugin I can see that this webpage right here attempts connections to reddit.com, redditmedia.com, redditstatic.com, datadome.co, google.com and sentry.io.

• I (college student) Keep Having to Order New Chase Debit Cards Because They Keep Getting Compromised. What do I do?

  If there is a keylogger or virus on your laptop then your #1 priority should be to get rid of it. From the information you've given here, it's impossible to tell what it is or how hard it might be to remove. Someone (trustworthy!) with physical access to the computer might have a better chance at figuring that out. But honestly, the best way to be sure is to reinstall the operating system from scratch. (Yes, you... Source: over 1 year ago

  If you, as a dweller on the interwebs, do not block all things related to FAANG yet, then you are to blame [1], [2], [3]. Also, as a country or nation state, if you do not curtail and prosecute these thieves of private data, then you show you don't care enough about your populace.

• New laptop.. how can I minimise risk of viruses?

  In terms of browser extensions: AdBlock requires that you use at least the Malware list, and a good, general-purpose list like EasyList. I think this is the default. FlashBlock is an extremely useful compliment to AdBlock; just whitelist Youtube.com/ytimg.com and any other flash sites that you use regularly. Ghostery, although not as important, is an excellent addition to AdBlock.Web of Trust is useful, especially... Source: about 2 years ago
