NoScript 12: finally a cross-browser NoScript for Chromium (also MV3!) and Firefox-based web clients. Please report any issue at https://noscript.net/forum in the Support section with [Chrome] in the subject.

Experts do agree: your browser is really safer with NoScript!

Version 12.1.1 is causing web pages not to load. I have cleared cache and cookies, no change. Everything will work if I disable NoScript. Do you have a repository of past versions of NoScript. I would like to downgrade until a fix can be provided.
