What it does
NoScript is an open-source browser extension that lets users control script execution and other active content by site.
NoScript gives a user an explicit trust decision before allowing selected sites to run active code. That can suit a deliberate browsing routine where exceptions are made for necessary applications rather than automatically for every page. Expect to review permissions when a site depends on scripts. Grant the narrowest useful trust and revisit it when the task ends.
Strengths
- Per-site active-content permissions
Best for
- Users willing to maintain explicit browser script permissions
