A Better Browsing Experience (Noscript)

The next extension that deserves your undevoted attention is Noscript. This extension will block potentially invasive and destructive JavaScript.

Most web developers these days use Javascript (little pieces of code) to give their webpages cool features like popup menus and embedded mp3 players. The problems come when someone figures out how to use Javascript to steal your personal information or otherwise breach the security of your personal computer. This is how many people get infected with spyware and malware and all that garbage.

So what does one do? Get Noscript.

A friendly chap named John Wilkerson has provided a video demonstrating exactly what this extension is all about.



I think he explains it pretty well but if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments or email me and I will do my best to help you out.
