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.

2026-07-05	Mo*****	Using it for 5+ years, awesome tool to stop trackers and even certain ads, a must have for me! The last update broke Youtube with NoScript though: Any video will slow down the entire Firefox tab until it's completely unresponsive and Firefox asks to shut it down due to performance issues. I did a roll-back to an older Firefox, disabled all my extensions 1-by-1 until Youtube worked again: Without NoScript sadly.
