What is the meaning of NoScript?
Definition and Usage
The <noscript> tag defines an alternate content to be displayed to users that have disabled scripts in their browser or have a browser that doesn't support script. The <noscript> element can be used in both <head> and <body>.
What is NoScript in Tor Browser?
NoScript is a built-in key security component of the Tor Browser, the top anonymity tool defending millions against surveillance and censorship. 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).
Is NoScript Security Suite safe?
It is considered a trusted open source tool, and regarded as an integral part of a larger suite of browser extensions for additional security. Along with HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript is embedded in Tor Browser by default.
Is NoScript needed?
NoScript is useful for developers to see how well their site works with JavaScript turned off. It also can remove many irritating web elements, such as in-page pop-up messages and certain paywalls, which require JavaScript in order to function. NoScript takes the form of a toolbar icon or status bar icon in Firefox.
