NoScript - Less Ads - More Secure

I was amazed how easy this proggy is to use setup and install.
Very straight forward, just as the author says.

Treats all websites as possible security threats as well as ads. Makes browsing more secure, it also makes it faster and blocks flash ads, again I want more speed when browsing this does the job.

Also, something recently added the ablility to stop "clickjacking"

"Clickjacking is a malicious technique of tricking web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages. A vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms, a clickjacking takes the form of embedded code or script that can execute without the user's knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickjacking



I use this with Seamonkey.
The [S] icon control which appears clearly in the right
corner of the browser window.

You'll then see and you have full control of NoScript controls.
So, if you want to change the setting your just a few clicks away,
including a whitelist of websites that you choose a safe.

Version 1.1.9 includes several changes such as extra QA for release, menu rendering speed optimizations, emulated TLD Effective service up to 100x speedup, and other improvements
