    Using it for a couple of years now and on a daily basis. I love the option of no js, only local js or all js. Beautiful piece of work!

    I find the YesScript2 add-on to be very useful in blocking scripts on websites that won't let you read without agreeing to a subscription or paying a fee. YesScript2 is extremely easy to use and very effective in blocking unwanted scripts. I love this add-on and I just wish it was available for my android cell phone. Thank you Andras!

    Brokes both "To DeepL translation" add-on & website (https://www.deepl.com/translator), even in YesScript no-blocking state (grey).

    (DeepL states that it is not Internet Explorer compatible — while I am using Firefox — and advises to use Edge Browser instead).

    Also reported on the To DeepL translation add-on page.

    I apologize for 1 star rating, I can't find a way to message you. I noticed today that this add on is active even when it's in no-blocking mode, as it's blocking recaptcha. This makes it pretty much unusable. Much appreciated if you have the time to fix! If you reply I will change to 5 stars just so I know you got it!

    Wow, I don´t understand why this app is not much, much more popular. It gets rid of so many pesky scripts bits. Loving it!

    It blocks reCAPTCHA even when set to no blocking. Apparently it's still doing something even when it's supposed to be doing nothing.

    Works as advertised, and is very helpful on many of the sites I frequent. The only change I'd like to see is in the toolbar icon. It's hard for me (and maybe other colorblind people) to tell the colors apart. It would be nice if the icon changed shape or maybe showed a letter (F, H, or N?) to indicate full, half, or no blocking.

    I've used YesScript2 for a couple of years to get me past paywalls, which usually works well I can get into most sites. But since I updated Firefox to Version 80 yesterday I can't get into my hotmail, it locks up for a minute or so and then puts up an error screen. All other sites work fine. I don't have the problem if YesScript2 is disabled, only when it's active. Using this forum to bring the developer's attention to the problem so maybe they can fix it.

    This is a quite useful addon. However, only recently (2019-December), this started breaking some of my commonly visited websites - repl.it. I had a hard time tracking down that this was indeed the offending addon.

    The third (or default) mode - unfiltered - or no blocking doesn't prevent it from breaking the webpage with "Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at...".

    I request the developer to please look into this. I've had to disable this addon entirely to get the website working. This addon is a must for browsing websites that throw unsuspecting clicks at you, but this simply breaks a really small fraction of the web for me.

    Very easy and simple to use.

    This add-on was fantastic, I say was because it seems to have stopped working. Anytime I blacklist a page it doesn't stick, when the page refreshes the icon is grey again (instead of red) and scripts will work/load for the page.

    It would be great if this extension placed its toggle-button in the URL bar. This gives the indication that its effect is URL-specific.
    Another extension that does this is : https://github.com/meetDeveloper/Quick-JS-Switcher
    YesScript2 supersedes the fore-mentioned extension by providing the three-state control.

    Very very helpful. Blocks lot of unnecessary ads, pop ups etc and helps to load page very fast! Can't say about every other sites but this is great for me.

    I like it! The leading NoScript has become to heavy.
