I always liked the feel of GoogleChrome, but something held me back. The lack of NoScript extension in the browser. Now I have found NotScript and together with Adblock for GoogleChrome I feel a lot better.
NotScripts gives you a high degree of “NoScript” like control over what javascript, iframes, and plugins runs in your browser to increase security and lower the CPU usage. It is useful to help mitigate some attacks like certain cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities and drive by downloads by blocking the third-party content before it even runs with it’s default deny policy.
You can whitelist the sites you want through an easy to use url bar icon and drop down menu.
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. NotScripts blocks third-party content BEFORE they load and it does this while also having a whitelist. This is one of the key extensions that many people have been waiting for since Google Chrome came out.
There are some limitations I hope to overcome, and do not install Java in the Chrome browser for now but use the features of HTML5. In the image I have attached you see the extensions sitting where I encircled it, the green means I have temporarily allowed the avast webforum site.
Ooff, I am glad I have found it, try it out folks,
Well glad we both have it installed now, thank you also for the links provided. This is much easier extensions to handle and will bring it under the scope of a lot of GoogleChrome users, I hope, I PM-ed you also about these and other issues, this NOREF is a beauty also, it is a good combination NotScript and NOREF, well thanks again,
I like the way and the direction the GoogleChrome browser is going and when we can switch from old browser native rendering and Javascript-engines to Chrome’s Webkit e& V8. Used to an old-fashioned legacybrowser we can enjoy all the features of HTML5 and fast Javascript. As developers will write more for GoogleChrome, the necessary tweakability will be enhanced. The browser is very difficult to hack.
Another development will come when the Google generation (those accustomed to Google services and in the cloud apps.) will make the switch to the GoogleChrome OS later this year, which will consists mainly of a browser HTML5 rendering machine with a shell around it and will come bundled with notebooks mainly. There I think MS will feel the first pangs of Google dents in it’s OS armour. Interesting development lay ahead of us.
The new IE9 still does not have good support for older webstandards like css (cascading style sheets) and new ones like WebGL. And every browser developer has made a selection of HTML5 features to claim it’s support for this standard is best. Who will win the client, the gate to applications? That is why IE’s javascript rendering machine is slow on Google apps, because the main reason for MS to develop IE further to IE9 was vendorlockin and they are somewhat lenient where webstandards are concerned, but Google has come up with Chrome Frame for IE that is much more secure: http://blog.chromium.org/2010/09/google-chrome-frame-stable-and-speedy.html
