Giorgio Maone, the creator of NoScript has announced the release of version 2.0 of his open source extension for Mozilla’s Firefox browser. This add-on blocks the execution of JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plug-ins or scripted content. It includes a white list to allow scripts from certain web sites and helps to prevent clickjacking attacks, which involve a crafted web site inserting a transparent iFrame underneath the user’s cursor.
This new version has an updated user interface synchronisation system that’s more efficient than previous versions and includes several improvements against cross-site scripting (XSS).
More details about the release can be found in the change log page. NoScript 2.0 is available to download from the project’s site.
