Does NoScript break websites?

Re: Noscript Breaking a Website despite Everything 'Trusted'

"Unrestricted CSS" means that NoScript skips some additional checks on visual stylesheets which make sense where scripts are disabled and attackers may reach for additional means to work around the blocking.

What is NoScript used for?

The noscript element represents nothing if scripting is enabled, and represents its children if scripting is disabled. It is used to present different markup to user agents that support scripting and those that don't support scripting, by affecting how the document is parsed.

Does NoScript block JavaScript?

This browser extension allows JavaScript and other potentially harmful content to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank). NoScript also provides the most powerful anti-XSS protection ever available in a browser.

Does NoScript block ads?

NoScript is a browser extension that stops JavaScript and other website scripts (Java, Flash and other plugins) from loading on the pages that you visit. As a result, NoScript can protect you against malicious ads, pop-ups, and even drive-by exploits encountered if you stumble across compromised websites.

Who makes NoScript?

NoScript (or NoScript Security Suite) is a free software extension for Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, other Mozilla-based web browsers and Google Chrome, written and maintained by Giorgio Maone, an Italian software developer and member of the Mozilla Security Group.

Does Tor use NoScript?

Tor Browser includes an add-on called NoScript, accessed by clicking the hamburger menu ("≡") at the top-right of the screen, then navigating to "Add-ons". NoScript allows you to control the JavaScript that runs on individual web pages, or to block it entirely.

Does Google read NoScript?

As stated by Maile Ohye, a former Google support engineer, Google analyzes the content of noscript tags. However, they should accurately reflect the content of JS scripts, otherwise, the bot may perceive them as cloaking.

Can websites detect scripts?

Yes, in theory, a site can deduce the presence of scripts in various situations. This is not foolproof and usually is way too much trouble for the negligible "threat" to the site. (Then again, some webmasters can be obsessive-paranoids about such things. ;) )

Should I disable scripts?

Should You Disable JavaScript? While JavaScript can be exploited by hackers, you can absolutely remain safe from hackers even without disabling it. You can choose to disable it when you think a website is bloated with JavaScript, giving you an unpleasant experience.

How do I stop noscript?

Should I use noscript tag?

The <noscript> Tag in HTML is used to check whether the Browsers should support JavaScript or not. It is used to show the alternative text for those browsers which do not support script tag The <noscript> tag is used to handle the browsers, which do admit <script> tag but do not sustain scripting.

Is it safe to allow sites to use JavaScript?

For most users, JavaScript is pretty safe. If you're doing something that makes you particularly concerned about security, you can turn JavaScript off, then easily turn it back on. But to get the most out of the modern web, it's best to leave it on. Another option is to turn off JavaScript on specific websites.

Is noscript tag necessary?

You need it only if you plan to track users who have JavaScript disabled or if you want to verify your Search Console property. For Search Console verification to work it is crucial to have the noscript part placed RIGHT AFTER the opening <body> tag of your website.
