NoScript Links to Security and Privacy Information
The Firefox NoScript add-on is one of the best, if not the best, web browser security extensions. NoScript’s core functionality, the blocking of all scripts on all websites, protects the user from script based web attacks. Additional functionality has been integrated into the add-on over years, including anti-XSS protection, Application Boundaries Enforcer or the inclusion of external filter lists.
One of the things that is currently missing are suggestions, or at least additional information, about scripts and domains that have been blocked by NoScript. The only option up until now was to use a search engine to locate information about a particular domain name manually.
Ghacks reader Jojo just mentioned that he discovered a new NoScript feature that opens a page of security and privacy related links for domains listed in the NoScript domain listing. The method, while stile requiring a few clicks to receive results, is improving this workflow significantly.
A middle-click on a domain name opens a new browser page with links to several privacy and security information.
The page links to the following security and privacy related services and databases: Web of Trust, McAfee Site Advisor, Webmaster Tips Site, Safe Browsing Diagnostic and hpHost Report.
Direct optional integration of at least one service into the NoScript domain listing would be optimal. It would also be great if links to standard web searches would be displayed on the services page.
