NoScript 2.5.6: NoScript add-on for Browser Security

Screen shot NoScript 2.5.6NoScript 2.5.6 is an extension for Mozilla, Firefox, Flock and SeaMonkey allow block the execution of JavaScript and Java applets on web pages. NoScript 2.5.6 provides extra protection for Mozilla browsers. Allows you to execute scripts JavaScript and Java applets only from trusted domains of your choice. If you want to surf safely with your Firefox just install NoScript 2.5.6.  Prevent any malicious access to your computer through scripts.

 The Firefox add-on NoScript 2.5.6 is probably the best extension to web browser security.  When you install NoScript blocks the execution of JavaScript plugins, Java , Flash or Silverlight , protecting the user from web-based attacks scripts.  If we allow these plugins do not lock the need to add to the NoScript 2.5.6 whitelist, if we know they are safe.

 NoScript 2.5.6 also includes Anti-XSS protection.  This protection is that when a website attempts to inject HTML or JavaScript, NoScript filters this malicious application, neutralizing the attack.

 Once we installed the Firefox add-on, we enter its options to configure its operation to suit our needs.  Thus, we can access the White list tab to add or remove websites that are not blocked by NoScript 2.5.6.

 Another important tab is the embedded object.  Here we can choose which items are locked and which are not.  For example, we can disable Prohibit Adobe Flash to not block Flash content.

 The other options have to do with the presentation of NoScript 2.5.6, ie how we visualize it in your browser, what we are interested in receiving notifications, and more advanced users, find the advanced settings of the restrictions.

NoScript 2.5.6 operation is easy.  When you surf the Internet, blocking complement plugins mentioned types, but we may temporarily unlock through the Options button that appears at the bottom of the browser.  We allow the scripts on a website temporarily or permanently.

NoScript 2.5.6 provides information security and privacy

 But one of the things that are missing from NoScript 2.5.6 is not able to obtain information about scripts and domains that have been blocked.  The only option that had so far was to use a search engine to locate information manually on a particular domain name.

 A new feature in NoScript 2.5.6 that opens a page with links relating to security and privacy of the domains listed in the list of NoScript 2.5.6.  To do so we just have to click with the middle mouse button on the name of the website in the NoScript 2.5.6 menu.  A window will appear to confirm that we have requested information on a particular website.

 This will open a window with services and databases with information about the safety and privacy of web sites:
 Web of Trust (WOT): shows confidence and vendor reliability, privacy and valuations in child safety, and user comments.
 McAfee SiteAdvisor security reports on discharges and disturbance.
 WebmasterTips.
 Safe Browsing Diagnostic Google: we find information on whether Google considers suspicious Web site.
 hpHosts: displays information about the IP of the site, the host and server.

 This way we can learn more about the safety of websites visited through NoScript 2.5.6.

Operations permit or prohibit execution of scripts and applets can be easily performed from the:
* Context menu
* Icon on the status bar.
