YesScript2 Firefox

YesScript2

It marks the domain of the active tab untrusted, reloads the page and blocks scripts from running on it. An option for the user to stop a website eating up resources or doing malicious things even if it breaks the functionality of the page.

Features & Capabilities

YesScript2 is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to give users control over scripts running on websites. It allows three blocking states: full blocking (internal and external scripts), half blocking (external scripts only), and no blocking. With a single click, users can mark the current website domain as untrusted, stop unwanted scripts, and automatically reload the page to apply changes. Compatible across desktop and mobile platforms, it leverages browser sync features to remember your settings across devices.

This extension addresses increasing web resource consumption and security risks like cross-site scripting by empowering users to reduce script activity on demanding or potentially malicious sites. Although some websites may lose functionality when scripts are blocked, YesScript2 offers a user-friendly balance between usability and safety. It's an alternative to more complex tools like NoScript, focusing on simplicity and trust through minimal and auditable code.

User Reviews

YesScript2 offers strong performance gains from blocking scripts, with a flexible three-state control and easy usability. It helps block ads and can bypass some paywalls. However, recurring issues include Recaptcha blocking in no-block mode and occasional site breakage due to blocking resources.
Pros
  • Significant performance gains: blocking scripts reduces CPU usage and makes many sites snappier.
  • Three-state blocking: option to block no JS, local JS, or all JS for fine-grained control.
  • Easy to use and straightforward to configure.
  • Effectively blocks scripts, ads, and pop-ups, reducing clutter and speeding up page loads.
  • Helpful for bypassing paywalls or gating on some sites.
Cons
  • Recaptcha is blocked even when set to no-block, which hurts usability on some sites.
  • Some sites exhibit breakage or CSP-related errors when blocking scripts (site compatibility issues).

This site fixes Amazon CPU usage, and constant CPU spikes when using Firefox. Amazon's website went from unusable to snappy instantly after turning on full blocking. Though, it does block some functionality, but for just browsing, it is a godsend. Having to toggle through the 3 levels of blocking when needing to access context buttons for menus and organizing cart/wishlist is better than waiting 3-5 seconds for hover-menus and the hyperlinks actually becoming clickable.

I can confirm YesScript2 works on Firefox 144.0.2 (the current version as I post this) on my brand new Lenovo 14" IdeaPad laptop with up-to-date Windows 11. Tip: Be sure to enable the "[x] Pin extension icon to toolbar" in the pop-up prompt when installing, otherwise you'll have to uninstall and try again. Yes, the grey icon can be moved on the toolbar like other icons.

Is YesScript2 Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YesScript2 requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
