This Screen Will Show When NotScripts Updates

I have justed released NotScripts V0.9.1 as a bug fix release. It fixes 3 bugs (2 of them reported by rEnr3n) and adds some options flags you can use to disable the blocking of plugins/scrips/iframes. Above is what you will see when NotScripts updates to version 0.9.1. It will prompt you to copy back your CHANGE__PASSWORD__HERE.js file (that I’m sure all of you made a backup copy of). You need to copy back your password file into the NotScripts folder because Google Chrome will overwrite all the files during the update. Unfortunately, there is no way around this for now. Remember to restart your browser after updating for the password file to be re-read.

In NotScripts V0.9.1+, if you want to get NotScripts to not block plugins, paste the following two lines into the end of your CHANGE__PASSWORD__HERE.js file:

const DO_NOT_BLOCK_EMBEDS = true;
const DO_NOT_BLOCK_OBJECTS = true;

This could be useful if Google Chrome 7 gets click-to-load built in for plugins and you want to use that instead. Additionally, the following two lines will disable NotScripts from blocking iframes and scripts, respectively:

const DO_NOT_BLOCK_IFRAMES = true;
const DO_NOT_BLOCK_SCRIPTS = true;

I post these last two lines here for reference only since including them into your password file will completely defeat the purpose of NotScripts.

On another note, quite a number of people have been asking me to implement a “Temporarily Allow This” option in the NotScripts drop down menu. Therefore, this is the top priority feature I will be working on barring any bug reports I deem need fixing right away.
