NoScript
- The Good -
Another fantastic tools for keeping you safe online. Stops any scripts from running, no matter what kind of scripts they are, or what their intent is. Easy to configure in the options page, increase speed on loading time. NoScript stops script, so you don't have to wait for the scripts to load before the website does.
- The Bad -
NoScript comes with a rather annoying little banner down the bottom when first installed, or set back to default settings.
This is to let you know that scripts are blocked on un-trusted websites. I already know the scripts are blocked because that's why you installed this add-on, right?
Anyhow, on sites where scripts are blocked, you get this small, yet neat and not annoying blocked "S" sign in the corner.
When scirpt aren't blocked, the "S" isn't covered by a block sign, so why the banner that popups on every site I visit? But, the banner can be turned off, and here's how.
Untick the box that says "Show message about blocked scripts".
- The bottom line -
Overall, another fantastic add-on that has it's ups and it's downs. But to put a lid on it, the good side makes up for the bad side.
- Rating -
I am going to rate this in two parts. For security, I give this add-on a 10/10. But for user praticallity, and friendliness, 7/10. Not all users understand what XML is, and NoScript likes to talk about XML a lot!

Don't use it on GeekPolice, we have some cool stuffs 
If you have a firewall, I think it's a better idea not to use NoScript. It makes the web more interesting.

i didn't like this one either, it just gets in your way, you have to accept the scripts on all the pages you go on, i only understood half of the stupid thing
It keeps you safe, at the expense of putting your computer at risk (from a fist)
Got rid of it after a few days of it, it gets annoying on flash websites, like kongregate, where practically everything needs to accepted as a script

Tell NoScript to accept that site then. 
Left click the blocked "S" sign in the corner and it has an option "Allow 12345.com"
