Review summary

Users largely praise NoScript as an essential security tool with strong per-site control. However, comments repeatedly flag a disruptive mobile gesture feature that disrupts scrolling and is hard to disable, along with a steep learning curve and occasional UI/UX bugs. Overall value is high for capable users, but usability and accessibility suffer when gestures are enabled or unconfigurable.

Pros

Essential security extension for Firefox; widely considered indispensable.
Granular, per-site control over scripts and permissions.
Improves browsing security and privacy when configured properly.

Cons

Mobile gesture feature causes scrolling/navigation issues and cannot (or is difficult to) disable in updates.
High complexity and learning curve; default settings can break websites, requiring technical knowledge to configure.
Frequent UI/UX changes and gesture-related bugs can cause accidental activations or browsing interruptions.
Gesture-related issues lead to debugging friction and can make the extension less usable for some users.

2026-06-08	Pr*****	Fantastic for keeping data-scraping scripts away from my personal info or history. However, as of June 1st, the add-on will only update the script list once per refresh hit, and I have to click off the icon in order to process more scripts to get a certain page "unbroken". Very annoying, hence why this is only a 4-star (even barely! I give this add-on a 3.5 in reality) review. Fix this issue, and the rest of the problems I encounter will again be someone else's problem.

2026-06-06	Al*****	Stops unknown scripts from running until your approval. But a lot of websites will break without third-party scripts, and for now you simply must guess your own until it works. Interface cuts off long domain-names.
