Hmm. Noscript now has an extensive default "whitelist" that includes Google.

[woo me with science]

Just spent a few minutes removing crap from the whitelist.

Sounds to me like some $$$$$$$ got involved. Sigh.

1. Hey, care to describe the process used for folks here?

This doesn't sound too good... Are you are it's by default? I have a lot of sites too, easily removed, but I can't tell if I allowed them.

5. I answered below.

Thanks.

2. More info! Need data...................Who, when, where?

[woo me with science]

4. I answered in more detail below.

I guess it's not that many sites, and I guess it has actually been doing this for awhile, but it still came as an unpleasant surprise to me that I was allowing stuff that had previously been disallowed by default.

Thanks.

3. Just click on the Noscript icon in the add-on bar,

select "options," and then select the "whitelist" tab. There you can see the entire whitelist and delete whatever you like. I just deleted everything and allow stuff as I need it.

It's definitely allowing things it didn't allow when I first installed this program. However, I guess I am late to notice this, because the threads below are dated 2010. Sorry if this is old news to you.

6. Problem with lists in protection type programs is lawsuits. Several have be sued

successfully by bad actors to get their url's removed from nogo type list.

Many of former really good programs to prevent spyware are being put on the shelf or neutered.

I don't like it but I also agree with the courts, free speach is not always plesant.
