NotScripts is a break through Google Chrome extension that gives you greater control over what javascript, iframes, and plugins run in your browser to increase security and lower the CPU usage. NotScripts can help to mitigate attacks like cross-site scripting (XSS) and drive by downloads by giving you control over what third-party javascript and content loads on the sites you visit.
NotScripts uses a unique and novel method to provide this “NoScript” like functionality in Google Chrome that was not previously possible. It introduces a break through technique of intelligent HTML5 storage caching to over come the limitations in Google Chrome that prevented an extension like this from being made before. This is one of the key extensions that many people have been waiting for since Google Chrome came out.
NotScripts is inspired by the “NoScript” addon for Firefox and seeks to emulate it within the limitations of the Google Chrome extensions API. It is not affiliated with “NoScript“, I just happen to like it’s functionality and wanted it on Google Chrome.
NEW!: NotScripts V0.9.2 is released with major interface change!

You can download NotScripts for Google Chrome over at it’s Google Chrome extension page. The link is above. Remember to read the rest of the page for instructions on how to use NotScripts. In particular, you will be required to set a password for NotScripts by navigating to it’s folder on your hard drive.
Test NotScripts’ Ability to Block Third-Party Javascript Here
***START OF TEST AREA***
This test is taken from my Better Pop Up Blocker extension for Google Chrome and loads a simple javascript file from one of my Google Code pages to demonstrate blocking third-party javascript. If you are using Better Pop Up Blocker right now, please whitelist Optimal Cycling for this test.
Ensure you have javascript enabled for this page and then click somewhere in this green text or white space and three pop up windows will open that will take you to Google, Bing, & Yahoo all at the same time if you don’t have NotScripts running.
Notice that this is just text and not a link at all and there is no indication that clicking here will do anything. The pop ups will even load if you click on white space!!!
.
.
The method I used here can be used for anything, even a picture that doesn’t link anywhere. Hover over the image below and you will see that it doesn’t link anywhere. However, click on it and you will still get a pop up! Does this annoying method sound familiar?:
With NotScripts, you can block these types of third-party javascripts that get included on many sites.
***END OF TEST AREA***
First Install Requires a NotScripts Password to be Set
NotScripts Requires a Password to be Set
http://optimalcycling.com/other-projects/notscripts/change-password/
A NotScripts password is required to be set for the initial use on a computer or if NotScripts was updated. The password is used to protect your privacy by preventing web sites from viewing the NotScripts whitelist caches. Due to technical limitations, you are required to open a file to set the password.
NotScripts caches some settings in the HTML5 local and session storage for each site visited to enable the blocking to work. These settings are the whitelist of sites that you allow scripts/iframes/plugins to run on. However, the HTML5 storage is also accessible by the sites you visit because it was originally meant for them to use for caching. To overcome this privacy issue, NotScripts encrypts the settings with AES-128 using the Standford Javascript Crypto Library to prevent access.
Visit the above link for detailed instructions and screenshots.
Frequently Asked Questions
http://optimalcycling.com/other-projects/notscripts/faq/
Visit the above link to find help on frequently asked questions about getting other extensions to work with NotScripts or for troubleshooting site compatibility. Please note that NotScripts requires the use of the HTML5 storage in Google Chrome. If you set Google Chrome to delete your cookies/HTML5 storage after every browser exit, NotScripts will not be able to effectively cache the site specific permissions and you will see frequent reloads. The default setup of Google Chrome works fine with NotScripts.
Limitations
http://optimalcycling.com/other-projects/notscripts/limitations/
NotScripts is the best “NoScript” inspired extension for Google Chrome to date. However, there are a few limitations that you should know about before using NotScript. They relate to block the deprecated <APPLET></APPLET> tags, inline script blocking, and caching reloads. I highly recommend you read the article to understand these issues that could be fixed in the future.

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.
Hi, in the password file these”const DO_NOT_BLOCK_IFRAMES = true;
const DO_NOT_BLOCK_SCRIPTS = true; “two lines were already in there so i deleted them. Was i supposed to or not ?, i’m a little confused since it should defeat the purpose. After restarting chrome i went back to your test area and clicked the pic and the pop ups appeared. Nice idea, thanks a lot
@Phil, the new password files have the lines written in for convenience, but they are commented with the “//” characters so they don’t do anything. You can leave them in with the “//” if you like. The password file is a regular javascript file so javascript rules apply.

I have a bunch of scripts on my site like this:
and I’m running http://localhost/
NotScript doesn’t allow me to allow these scripts even when i add localhost and 127.0.0.1 to the whitelist. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Script line keeps disappearing. anyway script tag source is “/files/jquery.js”
Can we also get a feature to allow current domain like noscript has? You shouldn’t need to whitelist scripts running on the current domain because chances are they’re essential for the sites functionality
Thank you for your swift reply Mr. Ericwong , i’ll leave them in as advised, have a nice day, and thanks again
@First Anonymous: Instead of http://localhost/, you can try http://127.0.0.1 instead which is equivalent. But I will modify NotScripts to recognize http://localhost/. Is there any other url’s like the one you gave without a top level domain like .com, .org, etc???
@second Anonymous, yes, I’m working on the temporarily allow this page feature for the next update of NotScripts which is due out mid next week.
[...] makes controlling which JavaScripts, IFrames and plugins run in your browser a whole lot easier. NotScripts is developed by Eric Wong on the Optimal Cycling [...]
If you’re adding “localhost”, it would be a Good Thing to recognize *_ANY_* synonym for localhost that is in “hosts”. For example, Spiceworks adds the following line to hosts:
127.0.0.1 spiceworks
and Spiceworks is highly dependent on scripting. I have to disable NotScripts to run Spiceworks.
@Angus, does that mean that when you type http://spiceworks into your own browser, it will actually resolve to http://127.0.0.1 ?
Edit: Ah, yes, I remember now. Host files. I will tweak the regex so that it works for all of them.

I can’t get Slacker(http://www.slacker.com/) to work with NotScripts. I’ve whitelisted all the scripts that show up in the drop-down but still doesn’t work. What am I missing?
@Brad, NotScripts V0.9.2 is coming out tomorrow or on Wednesday. It has compatibility fixes and many improvements and I just tried it on Slacker and it works on there. So the best thing to do right now is to wait a day or two for the new release: http://optimalcycling.com/2010/08/23/teaser-for-notscripts-v0-9-2/

Hi, quick question:
lets say we have site http://www.website com and also domain ads.website.com.
Can i block scripts from ads.website com, but leave http://www.website.com intact?
Thanks in advance.
@waspoza, not at this point. I made NotScripts so it recognizes both those addresses you gave as website.com because they came from the same domain and this is what most people expect to happen and it makes for much more efficient and compact whitelists. Perhaps in a future version I will incorporate a blacklist for such purposes.
@ericwong, yea black list would be great, thanks.
[...] that first drew me to Firefox has now made its appearance for Chrome, sort of, in the form of NotScript. I’m not entirely sure if it’s better than NoScript, going by its list of limitations, [...]
Eric, all i’d like to say is: Thank you so much for this great extension. Hats off! I hope it will get many updates in the future.
It’s on its best way to get better than NoScript.
I this where I should suggest my suggestions?
If not, ah well.
My first suggestion is to allow subscription to whitelists and blacklists (like you can with the adblock extension) in order to save time and effort. Another thing that would be nice would be allowing all scripts when on certain sites (such as online newspapers, which get all their money from ads). The last thing I’d like to see is more aesthetic. Truthfully, I find the pyramid icon sorta ugly, but it’s too useful to dispose of. Ideally, the best place for it to be would be in the wrench menu, but if that’s not possible, a “prettier” icon would be sweet too.
Thanks for your awesome extension, and hope to see more updates soon.
For the subscriptions, I’m not sure that’s a good idea at this point since everyone visits different sites and has different requirements as to what sites need javascript. What I think I could do instead is to manually create a list of the top websites on the web that need javascript to run properly and give the user the option to merge this list with their own whitelist. This should save new users time.
As for the icon, I think I can make it so that you have an option to choose from a list of pre-supplied icons.
This is almost a great thing, thanks for your work.
The major problem, though, is that while I can now control JS execution, I have to enable Cookies/Web storage to NotScript work right.
Which kind of just replaces one major problem with a lesser one.
To clarify: Whitelist seems to work even with cookies/web storage disabled; I wonder why clink-enabling/disabling from the URL bar button does not simply add the site to the respective list, which would eliminate the need to have cookies enabled.
(I use a minimal cookie policy where I only enable cookies for a handful of sites I need to log in frequently. Same for JavaScript.)
If cookies/HTML5 storage is not enabled for a particular site, NotScripts will still work but it will just block everything since it can’t cache the site specific settings.
Great product, really like it- but one issue I can’t solve is that I can’t get notscript to work with the bookmarklet I use to share articles on google reader. I have to completely disable it to get it to work.
The javascript reads:
javascript:var b=document.body;var GR________bookmarklet_domain=’http://www.google.com’;if(b&&!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement(‘script’));void(z.src=’http://www.google.com/reader/ui/link-bookmarklet.js’);void(b.appendChild(z));}else{}
Is there a way to whitelist this command so that it’ll work?
I hope to eliminate the use of the HTML5 storage in a future version if Google Chrome gets something like the canLoad function that Apple Safari has.
@Jason, it looks like that bookmarklet requires that you whitelist the current page you are on with NotScripts (and google.com if you don’t have that whitelisted already). Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish between javascript from a webpage and javascript from a bookmarklet in Google Chrome. If you run lots of bookmarklets, I recommend you consider using NotScripts in WHITELIST_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL mode which allows same origin scripts: http://optimalcycling.com/2010/09/06/blacklist-mode-implemented-for-notscripts-v0-9-6/
This will make life much easier for you than running NotScripts in the default whitelist mode when using bookmarklets.
[...] NotScripts [...]
Yeah, um, I seem to be unable to make myself clear somehow. It’s probably because I don’t know much about Chromium’s structure.
So if I make a whitelist entry, NotScripts can enable JS, and I can still disable some or all cookies for that site. If I use NotScripts’ URL bar button, I can only do that when I enable HTML5 storage/cookies for that site.
Is that because Chromium uses a different permission set for the “extension” page and regular pages?
The reason is because NotScripts caches some data in the HTML5 storage area of the actual website and when it does this, Chromium sees it just like another website setting HTML5 storage. Therefore, the website needs to be able to set HTML5 storage and this permission is separate from extensions.
Thanks for the info!
How do *you* manage cookies and JS separately – or don’t you?
For me personally, I just have Google Chrome set to allow cookies (the default option in Google Chrome). Every so often (a few months), I will manually just clear out all the history/cache/cookies in Google Chrome. I use NotScripts to selectively allow scripting.
I think I have the same question as Michael. I would like to have a whitelist of sites that can set cookies, and a separate, independent whitelist of sites that are allowed to run scripts. Is there any way I can do this using NotScripts?
Currently, NotScripts requires the ability to use localStorage which is sort of like cookies but it is the HTML5 version. NotScripts doesn’t require cookies itself, but you will need another extension to control cookies in specific ways.
I think I misspoke. What I meant is: I want two independent whitelists, one for cookies and one for scripts. Currently, my cookie whitelist is to go into Chrome’s preferences and disable all cookies, and then add a whitelist of exceptions (it’s the same set-up that Michael described in his comments). However, NotScripts then cannot allow scripts on sites on which I don’t allow cookies. Do you know of a different way for me to block cookies that would let NotScripts work properly?
The only extension that I know that does cookie filtering/blocking right now is “Edit this Cookie” https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fngmhnnpilhplaeedifhccceomclgfbg
I just wanted to thank you for this particular plugin for Chrome. It was a functionality that I have been missing the most since I switched from Firefox (which was a must because it got strangely broken) to Chrome.
Has anyone figured out how to get the Roboform extension to work with NotScripts? I tried adding the following 2 lines to the end of the “CHANGE__PASSWORD__HERE.s” file, but that didn’t help.
const DO_NOT_BLOCK_EMBEDS = true;
const DO_NOT_BLOCK_OBJECTS = true;
Thanks in advance for your help!
-Stach
Hello, which features of the Roboform extension are not working with NotScripts? I just did a quick test with the Roboform extension with NotScripts using Google Chrome 7 and there didn’t seem to be issues on the sites I used.
ericwong, thanks for getting back to me so fast. I agree, the Roboform extension appears to be “working the same” with NotScripts. It looks like I was a little impatient, in waiting for it to appear on some of the websites that I visit. Sorry for the confusion. -Stach
I am a Chrome user who immigrated from FireFox. So glad to find NotScripts!
I have one feature request: could you change the icon to be something other than a Green dot if there’s at least one site whose scripting is blocked? Currently, if even one site is blocked, the page icon shows a green dot, which is misleading. So, it’d be cool if you had:
1. the standard pyramid icon for all sites blocked,
2. the green icon for all sites allowed,
3. some other icon (transparent green?) for at least one site blocked.
@Cris, I’m working on a beta of the next version of NotScripts for Chrome right now that will address the icon requests.
Thank you for this very much! I will complete my move to chrome for good now. Simple to use with out nay problems at all!
Hi,
I’ve heard noscript for firefox has malicious code. Could somebody ensure the opposite for chrome’s notscript?
Hey there i am using NotScript on Google Chromium browser but i cannot find the password file i need to change .. what am i supposed to do?
In stable Chrome, this extension works well. In dev Chrome, however, the cascade list is (OFTEN) too narrow and shows nothing.
The big thing I’m missing from NotScript that NoScript has is the ability to only allow certain subdomains. For example, I allow a.alphabet.com but not b.alphabet.com or even alphabet.com itself. Working IT at a university I tend to visit a lot of student webpages hosted in their departments or from their dorms, all of it on our domain and I don’t want to blindly trust them. But I would like to trust my servers.
So… when NotScripts will have full abilities to block scripts? Or this is unreachable?
What are your plans about it?
WHY OH WHY? WHY, upon attempting to install NotScript, does a window open which asks for permission to ACCESS ALL MY PC’S CONTENTS AND THE WEBSITES I VISIT?
Forgive me, but surely it is this kind of invasion of privacy we need to avoid? To publicise and if possible OUTLAW?
To simply give carte blanche permission for a private company – ANY private company – to access the contents of my PC?
Are you kidding?
I do not doubt for one moment that you are all fine, upstanding, honest, pure as the driven snow, etc, but as a private company – even IF you have a decent, strong and moral privacy policy – can be bought and sold on the open market, by ANYONE with the dosh.
Hello, that message from Google Chrome appears on most extensions when you install because the extension needs to access the pages you visit in order to be able to block scripts. It is a common comment by users and you can see others asking why on many other extensions. The message is overly alarming, but you should be aware of what extensions you install and do so only if you trust the source. You can see from the source code of NotScripts in the Google Code page that it doesn’t do anything other than block scripts.
Hey there,
I am using this application in Opera 11 and it is really useful. However, after some time, it became nearly unusable, because it takes a lot of time to display the blockable URLs (like 30 seconds to one minute). I always have A LOT of tabs open (30+), so maybe this is related to that.
I wonder whether things could be speeded up a little. My guess would be that you fetch the blockable URLs from all tabs and not just from the one currently active, which would of course be preferred and a lot faster. I mean, why would one even want to have those URLs of all tabs? After all, one can just go ahead and click “globally allow all” for exactly such a matter.
Cheers,
STiFU
@STiFU, I’m guessing due to all the tabs you have open there are also lots of iFrames in them too. Due to a bug in the Opera Extensions API, messaging the open pages does not work correctly if there are iFrames in the page so I had to implement a workaround that shows the scripts from the current page as well as all the iFrames because it is impossible to distinguish the two with the current Opera Extensions API messaging. This bug has been known by Opera for quite a long time and I’m hoping it they would have fixed it already.
I am a Firefox+NoScript user who is recently evaluating Chrome+NotScripts. Great extension for Chrome.
About the icon, it would be useful to have different icon for every state:
- fully not allowed
- partially allowed
- fully allowed
Please! Don’t rely only on colors, for these icon states! Like other people like me, I have some problems with colors, I am a little color blind, problems with reds and greens. Please, add also a clear symbol to state the permissions.
Thanks!
@Eric: Thanks. Now that you say that, I remember reading something like that in the options of NotScripts. As a temporary solution, maybe you could make it optional to block scripts on iframes? After all, many people have iframes disabled completely and there would probably be a huge performance gain for multitabbing-users.
great extension, thank you!
now you should spend it a supress referer feature like the chrome extension “NOREF”. but as per site feature, not globally. like firefox addon “refcontrol” can do.
Sir I admire your effort, However when a user sees the words “navigate to” it’s pretty much over. Nearly was for me mainly because I really don’t have time to hack things constantly in order to acquire needed functionality.
Your noscripts is/will be essential to the broader adoption of Google Chrome browser.
Kudos and Thank You for addressing this problem.
G’day!
Hi!
How to block 2nd level domains? I want allow “downloads.serienjunkies.xyz” and disallow “serienjunkies.xyz”. Is that possible?
And how about Referer blocking like randomcore mentioned?
Good tool. Thank you very much!

Thanks.
just wondering, what is taking so long for an update to the chrome extension?
NotScripts for Opera:
Opera 11.01
NotScripts V1.0.4
if you open a page in where scripts by default are blocked,
close that page,
and than use the ‘reopen closed tap’ function in opera,
that page opens again, but scripts are executed.
Given that the first thing I see on this page is … updated (to vX), it would be useful if clicking on the pyramid showed the version. e.g. right below ‘Options Home’ a little ‘NotScripts v.X.Y’ would be useful.
So I could see if I need to update. (I don’t.)
Running v.96 – so the ‘update’ notice on this page could use some updating.
Thanks for making this.
Enhancement Request: let me choose sub-domains. e.g. temp allow google.com, but deny ads.google.com.
Noscripts is awesome. It makes securely using my favorite browser, Opera, possible.
I have run into an issue. I was trying a scriptblocking approach similar to one I have used in hosts files.
For noscripts, i downloaded the ad server list from http://pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist.php?showintro=0, and copied and pasted it into my blacklist, a total of 2731 lines.
The current result is that the noscripts gui is slow or unresponsive. Should I consider a list this size beyond the capabilities of the program?
Browser: Opera 11
OS: Windows 7
NotScripts is great! Just installing it reduced my Google Chrome CPU use by about 70% (I usually run with 60-100 tabs open). One thing I’d like to see is a way of finding out exactly which one of the blocked sites a blocked plugin comes from. For example http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_to_launch_major_new_social_network_called_c.php I see 9 sites in the pulldown. I’d like to see the slideshow but I don’t know which of the sites to enable.
Another thing, perhaps a setting to temporarily enable a site but just for a specific page?
Hi there,
).
I’ve been using the NotScripts addon for a while and I’ve been loving it ever since. I’ve got one serious problem, tho: In Chrome on my old Mac (10.6) it works perfectly, but on my new Win7/64 Laptop with Chrome10 it doesn’t really work at all. After installing and passwording etc. neither the whitelist entries are taken into account, not does clicking on the Allow/Temp buttons work. NotScripts seems to be stuck at blocking everything (including this very site
I have absolutely no idea what might be causing this. Any ideas?

how do i remove notscripts ?
Is this extension being developed for Chrome/Chromium (or even Opera for that matter) anymore?
@emcee Don’t use NoScripts for that, instead use Operas built in Content Blocker and urlfilter.ini. See here: http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/index.dml/tag/urlfilter.ini
Hi!
First of all a big thank you for providing this useful extension.
I am running the latest Opera Version 11.10 Build 2092 now. NotScript doesn’t seem to be working any more. User Java Script space is allowed as recommended, but the site’s scripts aren’t listen any more.
It worked fine with Opera 11.01, which I then updated today and noticed this issue. So I uninstalled Opera and all it’s files (only backed up a few of the Profile folder like bookmarks, wand, notes, sessions..) and was hoping for this to fix it, which it unfortunately didn’t.
Hopefully this is some useful input to you and this project.
I have submitted NotScripts v1.1.0 today to the Opera Extension moderators that supports Opera 11.10. It should be out for download in a couple of days. There was a syntax change to postMessage in the Extensions API. I have also fixed the issue where NotScripts would list scripts from multiple sites if there were iFrames so NotScripts now works properly (it was caused by a workaround to a bug in the Extensions API of previous versions of Opera).
thank you for developing this very good extension. my guess is that the chromium version of notscripts is still waiting for the api to catch up? sorry about the last two posts that assume that sound a little harsh…
Yes, I’m subscribed to the Chromium Extension API bugs that are relevant to NotScripts and unfortunately, they have not been resolved and are not marked with a high priority even though many people have starred the issues. The most important Extension API issue is accessing settings from within content scripts that are not affected by threading. This issue is why there is a required password and AES encryption in NotScripts to keep it secure as well as the code there to handle the asynchronous timing of accessing the settings.
And no worries, I’m not offended.
Thanks for the fast update to make it work again with Opera 11.10!
Also the fact that apparently now only the scipts of the according tab are listed and not all at once is a great improvement.
Again, a BIG thank you!
It would be very helpful for the less technically oriented to explain how to get to the necessary folder and have the ability to add the password in a linux system. Even after successfully changed the password once I am now unable to do so again even after a clean install. Very fustrating for a baby boomer without technical training.
About NotScripts:
Great extension, but I can’t unblock the Silverlight content here:http://www.montalbano.rai.it/dl/portali/site/puntata/ContentItem-bdbedf33-b701-4dd5-91a7-baca7737c0ad.html
What’s wrong?
[...] Sollte diese Abbildung nicht auf Ihrem Bildschirm erscheinen, achten Sie bitte darauf, dass Sie keine weiteren Plugins nutzen, die JavaScript verbieten. Dazu zählt insbesondere die Erweiterung NotScript. [...]
I can’t get it to work. Even though I got the “the password is set” message it keeps blocking everything – even the stuff on the whitelist. For example youtube, which is on there by default, didn’t do any script stuff (closing widgets..).
I restarted Chrome (v12) several times, deactivated all other extensions and tried other sites and clicking every option that “allow”-dialog offered. Yes, local storage and javascript is enabled. Clicking “allow” even added the url to the whitelist, but as said it kept blocking everything.

What I’d love to see is functionality that would allow me to block a site from within other sites. For example, I would like to block facebook.com for all sites except at Facebook.com itself.
The latest version of Chrome with Notscripts has broken my auth login at Stack exchange.

Clearing or resetting html5 storage does nothing to resolve this
Is it Chrome or Notscripts causing this?
I keep running into the “exceeded storage quota” message as well, it’s becoming a real problem…
First of all big thanks to Eric Wong! Without notscripts I wouldn’t have switched to Chrome, and now that I finally did it has certainly has improved my browsing experience.
I have a small suggestion for an option I hope to see in a future update. It’s nothing big, just a little checkbox that allows you to prevent reloading.
Sometimes you may forget that you’re blocking scripts, since many websites still work fine without javascript. The next thing you’re filling out a form and you realize that it might not submit without javascript, so you quickly allow the site, but on reload you loose all your form data.
I used the option in noscript to disable auto reloading for this reason. It would be nice to have this option in notscripts for google chrome.
[...] je dodatak slične namjene (NotScripts) za Chrome i [...]
Over time, I am running into the “Notscripts encountered invalid encryption for this sites settings /exceeded storage quota” more and more often, and on sites that used to work properly.
Getting NotScripts to clear doesn’t do anything, removing data and cache with Chromes preferences also doesn’t solve the problem. This is using Mac Os X 10.6.8

Hello and thanks for this cool addon.
Just wanted to ask if you plan to add support for ipv6 addresses… I’ve been having some trouble with them (they are blocked automatically and no option to block/unblock appears).
thanks
I have installed the Opera extension from https://addons.Opera.com/en/addons/extensions/details/notscripts, the version at the time of this writing is 1.1.0.
The problem after installing the extension is that I cannot access the ‘Preferences’ — when right-clicking NoScript’s pyramid icon, they are greyed out. The same when trying to access them via [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[E].
Double-clicking the pyramid icon instead of right-clicking it opens a blank/ window on the right side of the screen, which looks as if that was supposed to be the NoScripts settings screen. Helas, the window is empty, except for two links ‘Options’ and ‘Home’ at the top of it. Clicking them does not have any effect though.
Disabling all other extensions does not rectify the problem.
Is there another way to configure NoScripts from Whitelist to Blacklist and whatever else there might be to configure?
Any plans to use the upcoming “webRequest extension API” in chrome 17?

Hi
There is a little bug / missing feature:
Chrome/Iron doesn´t display the area in a webpage if js is disabled.
Webdevelopers can use a workaround:
…
instead of
$(‘html’).removeClass(‘no-js’);
div.no-js {display: none;}
html.no-js .no-js {display: block;}
But it would be easier if chrome-notscript would recognize .

There are some problems, if you work in google chrome with profiles. In this case, the link in “Options -> Password Status” is wrong. It should not be %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\odjhifogjcknibkahlpidmdajjpkkcfn but %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ProfileAndNr\Extensions\odjhifogjcknibkahlpidmdajjpkkcfn.9.6_0. For “ProfileAndNr” you must insert the nr of the used profile e.g. “Profile 1″, “Profile 2″ without quotes. This is for Google Chrome since version 17.xx.
