Block Scripts From Firefox with “NoScript”.

A computer script is a list of commands that are executed by a certain program or scripting engine. (from http://www.techterms.com/definition/script)

Scripts are cool in such a way that you can do automatic actions or repetitive task without any hassle. But in another side, scripts can be dangerous because of the fact the will do automatic actions without the user’s control. I’ve experienced it one time when my friend send me a URL , then when I clicked to it, Firefox opened a site with a pornographic content which I cannot close because of a script that is changing the position of the browser and generating pop-up messages. See how dangerous scripts are?

So, here’s an extension that will make Firefox “The Safest Web Browser”, NoScipt. NoScript , obviously block and stop the execution of all scripts unless you allowed it. It also allows you to mark sites as trusted sites, to enable them to run scripts. Another good thing is that you can allow scripts to a certain site temporarily, for more sense of security.

Here’s a video about using and installing NoScript extension.

My Comments :
This product is one of a kind, and I can say that it is the pioneer in Windows XP. Currently eBoostr is the only product that offers this kind of feature in Windows XP. eBoostr allows users to use up to 4 devices as a memory cache, and anyone could say that it’s a great offer. So anyone who wants a memory upgrade but doesn’t have enough budget, you can try eBoostr as an alternative.
