Answer» Quote from: evilfantasy on January 09, 2012, 03:55:00 PM At this point in time I do believe IE is more secure than FF with Chrome leading the pack. Chrome Is Most Secure of the Top Three Browsers, Study Finds So NoScript counts for nothing? Because for anyone who understands to use it, NoScript makes Firefox without a doubt the most secure browser.Quote from: Veltas on January 09, 2012, 04:29:40 PM So NoScript counts for nothing? I never said that. The user behind the MOUSE and keyboard make a browser secure. An add-on is just one layer of security and no one layer alone will ever be enough unless you simply never connect to the Internet. Also, NoScript is not without it's faults: Attention all NoScript users Adblock Plus and (a little) more ALERT: Firefox with NoScript does NOT ALWAYS protect from SWF clipboard hijacks In short. NoScript only blocks what does not make the developer money (check your NoScript whitelist). Including other security related add-ons which are not always easy to determine. And it does have vulnerabilities. Quote from: Veltas on January 09, 2012, 04:29:40 PM Because for anyone who understands to use it, NoScript makes Firefox without a doubt the most secure browser. Understanding it is the reason I don't use it. For example this very forum. With NoScript set to it's defaults you can not see all of the posting options. There are no Smileys or BBCode formatting options. With NoScript Without NoScript For the record I never was a fan of NoScript. For me it's a PITA and in all my years of visiting shady websites I have not gotten infected unless I was trying to. It's not just blocking scripts, it's blocking content. I PREFER AdBlockPlus and Ghostery. But just like NoScript they have their faults and I have had to whitelist several things in Ghostery in order to see web pages as they should be seen. And by default AdBlockPlus is set to "Allowing acceptable ads in Adblock Plus". I find myself using the Open With add-on quite a bit due to knowing that there is content on a web page that I am not seeing. Judging from what I'm reading, Noscript was too difficult to operate for you. That's not really Noscript's fault. Quote In short. NoScript only blocks what does not make the developer money (check your NoScript whitelist). Including other security related add-ons which are not always easy to determine Yeah, I'm betting Noscript makes tons by whitelisting about:config. Why didn't I think of that? Quote But just like NoScript they have their faults and I have had to whitelist several things in Ghostery in order to see web pages as they should be seen. So you block Javascript and then complain about Javascript not working? Riiiight. I didn't put words in Veltas' mouth. Please don't put them in mine. Quote But just like NoScript they have their faults Did I not admit that they all have their faults? Quote For the record I never was a fan of NoScript. For me it's a PITA That does personalize my reply. I didn't say for everyone. I just believe that NoScript is overkill. Simple as that.Quote from: Raptor on January 09, 2012, 05:56:28 PM Yeah, I'm betting Noscript makes tons by whitelisting about:config. Why didn't I think of that? Take a look at the default whitelist, it does contain some odd ones...Quote from: Veltas on January 09, 2012, 06:35:08 PM Take a look at the default whitelist, it does contain some odd ones... I must have thrown those out a long time ago. I know there are some entries which are greyed out but you can remove those through about:config from what I recall. Quote from: Raptor on January 09, 2012, 06:39:00 PM I must have thrown those out a long time ago. I know there are some entries which are greyed out but you can remove those through about:config from what I recall. I didn't see anything strange greyed-out though, so it is trivial to remove the entries you don't want.What were they?Dunno, I removed them! You're all WRONG! Lynx is the best web browser. Behold it's majestic beauty: It's nice that we can have these totally unrepetitive topics.Quote from: BC_Programmer on January 09, 2012, 10:36:20 PM It's nice that we can have these totally unrepetitive topics. I'm sorry did you guys already have a discussion about what's allowed by default in No-Script? Let's move this to that thread then... if I could have the link?Although if it's about the thread in general... then I can see where you're coming from. This is about as good an idea as making an account on a religion forum and asking "Which god is the best?".Quote from: Veltas on January 10, 2012, 03:40:29 AM Although if it's about the thread in general... then I can see where you're coming from.
