User reviews

Users appreciate ScriptSafe for its strong script and ad blocking capabilities, enhancing privacy and security. It is considered a reliable tool favored by power users. However, its lack of recent updates has caused compatibility and browser stability issues. Many find the extension breaks sites frequently and is complex to manage, especially for novices. The absence of efficient syncing and export/import features for block lists reduces convenience. Despite its flaws, it remains a valuable complement to other ad blockers but is challenged by evolving browser standards and maintenance gaps.

Pros

Highly effective at blocking ads, scripts, and trackers, enhancing browsing privacy and security.
Long-standing reliability and robustness in controlling unwanted scripts and preventing malware.
Offers granular control for advanced users to manage script permissions per site.
Supports exporting and syncing settings, aiding user control and portability.
Complimentary to other blockers like uBlock Origin for enhanced security.

Cons

No recent updates in several years, leading to compatibility issues with current browsers.
Causes websites to break often, requiring manual enabling of scripts, which can be tedious.
Lacks seamless integration for importing/exporting block lists and syncing across Google accounts consistently.
Can cause browser crashes or high CPU usage in some cases.
Not beginner-friendly due to complexity and frequent false positives requiring workarounds.

The most potent tool in my adblocking arsenal. Believe it or not, cybersecurity tips from the FBI *strongly suggest* using an adblocker to prevent malware. So Google, by removing this and other extensions, have made all of their users' computers less safe by doing so. Great extension, and whoever at Google presided over that decision deserves scaphism.

After 6 years sadden to see this and other similar are removed from adding. Just discovered it was stopped by Chrome, but able to restart it for it now. Great tool for not so Safe web browsing.

Google is telling me this extension is no longer supported because it messes with their ads. Shameful company.
