Infosecurity.US

NoScript (an outstanding piece of software created by Giorgio Maone and one of the very few effective protective Mozilla Firefox extensions), has been updated by the developer, taking the extension to version 1.9.1 This is a MustHave extension to Firefox, and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND the use of it, if, of course, you are using Firefox to browse the interwebs. More information detailing changes to the extension appears after the jump.

NoScript V. 1.9.1

Your Friendly Web Cop If you find any bug or you’d like an enhancement, before reporting here or here, please check if it’s fixed in latest development build. Many thanks!

Main good news: Yieldmanager script surrogate (makes imageshack.us and other sites work with no need for whitelisting yieldmanager.com). Performance boost of ClearClick ClickJacking protection on very crowded documents. ClearClick incident reporting tool. Improved script blocking and scriptless pages management. Improved X-FRAME-OPTIONS compatibility support. New exclusive protection against JSON and E4X hijacking. Anti-XSS filters performance optimizations. Support for the Fennec Alpha 2 mobile browser. Several improvements in blacklisting mode: even if whitelisting is still the recommended safest mode, you can use Allow scripts globally and still block sites you mark as untrusted. More important, you can still enjoy full Anti-XSS protection or be protected against ClickJacking and JSON hijacking even while you’re keeping JavaScript allowed everywhere. More in the changelog…
