Reviews & Comments of No-Script Suite Lite chrome extension

I have been using this extension for as long as I can remember. It adds a ton of security for blocking scripts and web elements. easy to change security modes depending on needs.

May 2021: I cannot edit the whitelist, except adding. I cannot convert to exclusive mode, or the exclusive mode block nothing. ... But the extensive run smooth in general. Oct 2021: After a few update, now it cannot run when I start chrome, I need to disable and enable to wake it up.

its the year 2021 and this so called "developer" doesnt even know about wildcards. Today almost all sites use sub domains so you literally have to approve each subdomain instead of just using a * wildcard to specify all sub domains. Also, has this dev heard about alphabetical order so we can actually see what domains have been approved and it also makes it like 1000000 times easier to revoke a domains approval. But who thinks about all this complicated stuff when developing a addon?

It's very effective at blocking unwanted or dangerous stuff from running on sites you go to. Just whitelist the site you're on if it's something you use often and know is safe. However, it doesn't work well at all with sites that put a username in front of the domain. Bandcamp and Itch.io are two examples. For instance, www.bandname1.bandcamp.com and www.bandname2.bandcamp.com would have to be added separately. So every single band at Bandcamp has to be whitelisted individually, you can't just whitelist a site like Bandcamp once and be done with it. Any site which puts a username in front of the domain has this problem, and it's the most frustrating thing about the extension if you happen to use any sites which do that. Otherwise this would have been a 5 star review. I even tried contacting the developer about this some time ago but never got a response. What makes it worse is that every single other security focused extension I have used, except for this one, makes it easy to whitelist an entire site domain even if the site puts a username in front of the domain. It's ONLY this one that can't let you whitelist all of a site like of Bandcamp or Itch.io with just one click. Only this one. It also doesn't seem to have any way to export/import settings at all, which is what prompted this review. I was going to recommend this extension to someone who doesn't use Bandcamp or Itch.io, and export my over 3000 long whitelist so they could use it. But there's no export/import anywhere that I can see. There's no way I'd want them to go through the trouble of adding all those themselves, like I did slowly over years, so I guess I won't be recommending it to them after all. Honestly if I had known about the username.domain issue before I had a very sizable whitelist already, I would never have started using this in the first place.

sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!it does not work in brave suck!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it helps through all the websites that needed verifications

I've spent as much time as I'm going to to figure out how to implement a simple wildcard so that I can stop individually whitelisting subdomains every time I visit a new site. An asterisk is sufficient for literally every other piece of software on my computer.

Very simple app: block all script on blacklisted site, or allow all script on whitelisted site. Some may complain its simplicity however (no sophisticated script blocking). But for some its ease of use is something of a big plus.

جداااا ممتاز في حجب الصفحات الملقوفة

Nice extension! Pretty easy to use, all I had to do was go to each of my bookmarks and whitelist them. After that, every other site was blacklisted from using javascripts. Exactly what I wanted!

i could not figure out how to use this extenion. it either breaks everything in a webpage or does nothing it all in addition it block all scripts, theres no concievable way i can see to allow certain scripts to run and block the ones you do not want that are the cause of some website annoyance, all in all i found no script suite lite to have a convoluted UI and no meaningful uses.

Thanks!

Easy to use, very clean and simple interface

This extension should add this mode "It allows JavaScript to be blocked by untrusted websites of your choice. Few websites are added to the black-list table above by default, but you can edit the list at any time." Its useless because i only want to block a few sites.

how do we block specific type of images like gif only please tell us

Blocks Media, Scripts, Images, Objects, Canvas Fingerprint, etc. on specific page. Very useful.

White list doesn't work, so you either block everything or nothing. Uninstalled.

Blocks scripts based on the URL, so there is no way to allow some scripts and block others from the same page. Does not show what is/isn't being blocked, so if one page is dependent on scripts from another URL, you have no way of knowing what to unblock except to open the inspector, dig around for failed requests, open their URLs, then allow them with the menu. Incredibly tedious and basically unusable for all but the most basic use-cases.

Okay, so it's not exactly like the Firefox version... Still, it's pretty slick and I like it. My only complaint is that it doesn't automatically refresh the page when I make changes but that might be some of the other extensions I have interfering - I'm still new to Chrome so I don't know. Anyway, it's a great little tool and it's a shame it's getting such poor reviews when it does what it's supposed to do and it does it well.

dialog disapears on google map site. can't edit urls...

uwoow

I use almost all extensions but this extension is so powerful and easy to use.

good app ever

I want to block all scripts except for the minimum for a site to work. This is basically a switch to allow all scripts on a site or none at all, useless.

Doesn't appear to recognise any valid catch-all regexp put into the blacklist - scripts are still running on pages. Also tends to forget settings from time to time when running in whitelist mode.

The UI is unintuitive and does not lend itself to easily whitelisting a site domain or editing existing whitelists.

Broke; it doesn't allow password to be passed to back-end scripts it can be validated.

nice

I use Noscript for Firefox and it's worlds better than this piece of crap. No options, no explanation, no idea what is blocked and what isn't. Use something else, they should be ashamed of themselves for this limp piece of garbage.

Just too many small issues to count. It may be that I don't understand the features of the extension well enough, but that's not for lack of looking. It would be nice to get a list of all hosts that have been blocked on the current page. I have no idea how to get that. It would be nice to temporarily whitelist the current site and everything it needs to connect to. I have no idea if that's possible. It would be nice to be able to blacklist hosts that the current page has loaded from. I don't know if that's possible. Too many pages end up in a broken state with no obvious reason as to what has been blocked (if anything) that is causing the breakage.

Every time it updates the whitelist gets deleted, forcing me to start all over with the whitelisting process - after this much time the problem should have been addressed...

VERY GOOD

Awesome!

After every update it clears all my whitelisted urls and now with this latest update you have swapped the Add and Settings button ruining the usefulness of my muscle memory needlessly.

since january 7th 2016 update, it lost all my whitelisted sites

I really wanted to like this extension more, but it breaks the user experience in ways that are less obviously fixable than, say, NoScript's tendency to cause obvious breakage with obvious solutions. I'll be removing it for now, and giving it another try further down the development line. It has promise and good features - it just needs some compatibility fixes and polish.

excellent

Using this extension will result in page errors , specifically the 'Aww, Snap' error , when googling . So it had to be removed. Hopefully the dev can fix this bug.

Like the UI and different blocking options! thanks note to the developer: please update the screenshots, they are OLD!

Quick, easy, it works!

Doesn't seem to work, it allowed a website to redirect , instead of blocking/disabling the script.
