-== Compatibility with other Mozilla browsers ==
+}}
-I know for a fact that Camino does not support add-ons, unlike Firefox and SeaMonkey.  It does support plug-ins but not add-ons.  As a result, Camino doesn't support the NoScript extension.  Other than that, just about all the Mozilla browsers I've used support it.  It may be important to mention this in the article.

-== NoScript could use a redirect. ==
-As I tried to go to this article I forgot the fact the NoScript lacks a space between No and Script and wound up at the search function instead. Therefore I believe we should add a redirect from "No Script" to "NoScript." [[User:Rengaw01|Rengaw01]] ([[User talk:Rengaw01|talk]]) 15:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
-:Also to note, when the firefox 3 website was just released... this script was not found when searching for '''NoScript''' (Without spaces) on the mozilla add-ons site and could not be found unless using Google search or by using the word '''Script'''. This was since fixed. [[Special:Contributions/66.168.19.135|66.168.19.135]] ([[User talk:66.168.19.135|talk]]) 13:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
-== in-text references ==
-I don't think this article can have "in-text" references. Plus, the in-text wikipedia link in that template redirect to a non-existent section within the citing sources page, and searching for in-t (or in-text) results in no matches on that page. [[Special:Contributions/66.168.19.135|66.168.19.135]] ([[User talk:66.168.19.135|talk]]) 13:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
-== Criticism - JavaScript ==
-Most webpages offer a no javascript section of their website (which may be notable as a bullet under that remark). However, most people who make websites don't know it is '''highly recommended''' to have such a thing. [[Special:Contributions/66.168.19.135|66.168.19.135]] ([[User talk:66.168.19.135|talk]]) 13:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
-::*I've found that very few offer a no-JS version. As your second sentence notes, most site designers aren't aware of the dangers and don't care. Usually, you get a dire warning "You must enable JavaScript in your browser to use all of the functions of this site". Hence the benefit of NoScript in being able to allow selectively and disallow others on the page that you don't need, or from sources that you don't trust. [[User:Unimaginative Username|Unimaginative Username]] ([[User talk:Unimaginative Username|talk]]) 06:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
-:the question should be: is javascript really needed or is the site workable with pure HTML and CSS.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.44.152.172|84.44.152.172]] ([[User talk:84.44.152.172|talk]]) 21:04, 5 February 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-::*Excellent point! For example, http://www.grc.com "updated" its site with JS dropdown menus, then changed that to CSS after people noted the irony that the site's owner, [[Steve_Gibson_(computer_programmer)|Steve Gibson]], writes and lectures on security, including the dangers of scripting. Check the page -- it works fine using just CSS, as you said. Can you write to other webmasters and persuade them to go this route? Thanks for stopping by! [[User:Unimaginative Username|Unimaginative Username]] ([[User talk:Unimaginative Username|talk]]) 06:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
-::Web designers are well aware that many users disable JS. In fact, most of them go out of their way to make sure that their web pages do not work without JS. I've seen websites that put the text of a web page in a <div> element that is hidden by default and enabled only with JS. The reason for this is that they use JS to track and spy on their users, and to push annoying features, like moving ads and changing graphics. 98% of web designers are ethically-challenged.[[User:Bostoner|Bostoner]] ([[User talk:Bostoner|talk]]) 04:46, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
-== Downloadable blacklists? ==
-Are there any updateable blacklists that we can download, like it is the case with some other software like anti-spam, anti-virus, etc.
-Instead of entering by hand every time? --[[Special:Contributions/74.57.253.67|74.57.253.67]] ([[User talk:74.57.253.67|talk]]) 19:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
-:Why you need a blacklist? It blocks all and you can allow things that you trust(known as whitelisting). --[[Special:Contributions/213.168.121.43|213.168.121.43]] ([[User talk:213.168.121.43|talk]]) 05:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
-::If I may clarify the above reply, with NoScript, the entire Internet is blacklisted by default. Only those scripts that you wish to allow are allowed. For sites you visit regularly, you can add them to your whitelist automatically by clicking "Allow example.com". You will never again be bothered about that script or about that site (unless the site or its advertisers add new scripts). If it's a one-time visit, you might use "Temporarily allow example.com". But your regular sites do not need to be entered by hand every time. Hope this helps.

-==Grammar==
-Just wondering about the grammar of this phrase:
-<blockquote>"Allow"ed or "Temporary allow"ed sites.</blockquote>
-My grammar isn't great either, so I'm not sure what it should be, but that doesn't look right. Maybe:
-<blockquote>"Allow[ed]" or "Temporary allow[ed]" sites.</blockquote>
-?  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/220.253.37.212|220.253.37.212]] ([[User talk:220.253.37.212|talk]]) 13:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:Your wondering is entirely correct. Fixed it, and also gave the page a light going-over for other minor glitches. Thanks for catching that!
-:Perhaps you'd consider registering at Wikipedia and helping to edit pages? Don't worry if your grammar isn't great -- there are always people who are good at grammar who can help you out or copy-edit your contributions. Regards, [[User:Unimaginative Username|Unimaginative Username]] ([[User talk:Unimaginative Username|talk]]) 06:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
-== Popularity ==
-I think it may be a valuable edition to the wiki to note how popular the add-on is.  Are there statistics out there of how many percent of Firefox users have NoScript installed, for example?  [[Special:Contributions/68.183.110.79|68.183.110.79]] ([[User talk:68.183.110.79|talk]]) 17:04, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
-== Advertising Tag ==
-This page is tagged as being written like an advertisement, but it seems neutral enough to me. [[User:Mr. Shoeless|Mr. Shoeless]] ([[User talk:Mr. Shoeless|talk]]) 11:59, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
-it's open-source and free, how can something sound like an advert when it's not-for-profit? [[User:Markthemac|Markthemac]] ([[User talk:Markthemac|talk]]) 01:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
-:Promotional/non-[[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] tone are against Wikipedia guidelines whether it is allegedly "not for profit" or noncommercial.  Whether a specific person calls it "advertising" or "promotion" or "advocacy" (as political promoters like to call it) or "education" (as not-for-profits like to call their promotions when they are claiming to be apolitical) doesn't change what it actually is.  {{tl|Fanpov}} also exists. --[[User:Closeapple|Closeapple]] ([[User talk:Closeapple|talk]]) 02:42, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
