The Firefox extension warThe Firefox extension warPosted May 7, 2009 21:52 UTC (Thu) by pflugstad (subscriber, #224)In reply to: The Firefox extension war by rahvin Parent article: The Firefox extension war Well, given that many of the exploits depend on JavaScript being enable to function, one would think that after a certain point, NoScript would basically be future proofed - most exploits would already be covered by the fundamental disabling of Javascript. Also think about this: as this whole saga points out, NoScript is funded by ad's, so that pop-up page every time NoScript updates actually puts money in the Maone's pocket. So I would tend to think that there's a conflict of interest there - the more he updates, the more money he gets. So to a degree, he may have a vested interest in NOT improving NoScript to the point described above. I'm obviously conjecturing here. Also, I obviously didn't look very hard, but I did NOT actually find the link on how to disable the pop-up page (thanks for the link Jon), even though I went looking for it when it was mentioned in the original article - I was thinking it would be a check-box on the NoScript prefs panel. My bad I guess.
