- (2024-12-17) sibiris: Im modifying my old review, now in 2024. I've had this thing for years at least from 2015 or 16 and a part from a few hickups with sincronization, it just works.
- (2023-08-28) J J: RED FLAG: This has not been updated in over 6 years. It was great years ago, but not now.
- (2023-04-26) Silviu ADK EU: Recomandation: Removal is a good ideea. This is anwanted ( antivirus found this as PUP.JolyWallet.script

- (2022-06-11) Loki Lok: Ganz großartiges update.... Seit dem update macht das Ding was es will, auf. Einstellung: erst bei klick auf Seite zugreifen...scheint sich verselbständigt zu haben. Viele Seiten und Video laden nicht mehr obwohl die App nicht darauf zugreifen kann. Um das zu ändern muss man die App zuerst auf die Seite zugreifen lassen und dann die einzelnen Serverzugriffe freigeben...was das auch immer soll...
- (2022-03-30) Nicht Verfolgen (Indsiger): Overall very good compliment to uBlock Origin for blocking as/malware domains.
- (2022-03-18) NCSGeek: Love this as a noscript solution. Recently the extension icon is stuck as the grey one though, which makes me think it's disabled.
- (2022-01-15) Nilesh Nehate: my cpu use 100%
- (2021-12-14) Fixit Mann: This project appears abandoned, no updates in 4 years (since 2017.) I just updated Vivaldi browser to the latest 5.0 version and Hotmail would not open properly until I disabled scriptsafe, which made me check on updates to the extension for current browsers, which are quite different from those only a few months, let alone 4 years old... I'm thinking I need to go back to NoScript, which is updated constantly and works in all browsers now.
- (2021-12-06) Vladimir Dubrovskiy: полезная вещь, вот только почему-то в последнее время стал вдруг загружать процессор
- (2021-11-17) Jon Gaskell: Great tool, robust, but appears to have been abandoned. There are a lot of features that aren't controllable on a granular level. Sometimes a site will be broken and no matter how many things you allow, it'll still be broken until you disable Scriptsafe altogether. There's no option to disable on a per-domain basis either, it's all or nothing in that regard. Still, there are a TON of privacy related features as well as ad and script blocking. Great tool, but has flaws and unfortunately it isn't being updated any longer.
- (2021-11-13) Lara Croft: This is one of the best browser extensions I've ever used. I understand it can be frustrating for some people to have to take the time to figure out what scripts are needed to make pages run, but I feel so much safer browsing the internet with this, and I personally only see it as a minor inconvenience in my typical browsing. The only thing I have to say against it is that it hasn't been updated in a while, which is a real shame. In fact, I believe it can no longer be downloaded on Firefox as a result (and I didn't realize any of this until I suggested a friend download it and couldn't get a download link for him). The extension still works just fine despite the lack of updates, but I would be thrilled to see development continue on this extension. Thank you for the fantastic browser extension! I'll keep holding out hope that you'll keep working on it again sometime!
- (2021-09-19) Brandon Grobler: if something hasnt been updated since before the pandemic then its not up to scratch.
- (2021-08-07) Luca Rohrer: Es macht was es soll...Am Anfang hat es sehr gestört, dass man bei jeder Seite immer alles freischalten muss, aber mit der Zeit geht das ganz flink. Bestimmte Seiten funktionieren mit dem Plugin nicht, z. B. bei Kreditkartenzahlung werden verschiedene dynamische Sachen geladen. Es ist halt schon krass, wenn eine einfach News Seite 200 Verbindungen aufbaut, d. h. mind. 150 Verbindungen Werbung und Tracking.
- (2021-07-10) Diego Miranda: I like this extension very much. However, I like to clean my chrome as much as possible, including chrome/local storage/levelDB. Doing so, however, deletes the settings. Can the settings be stored en localextensions, and load from there, instead of depending on the files in levelDB? Thanks!
- (2021-07-05) Vita Dolejsi: It would be great tool, but problem is, that once in a while it resets all presets. Lets imagine you surfing through the internet. Day after day you are slowly creating your rules. You do it for months and you have set up rules for hundreds or thousands of websites. And then one day you turn on your computer, open chrome and you find that all those rules are lost, like tears in rain. Then you curse it and start again... And after some time, when you managed to recreate everything you lost... AGAIN!!!!!

- (2021-05-09) Denis Kulenuk: Убирает из гугл поиска "похожие запросы" которые появляются прямо под курсором ровно в тот момент когда ты нажимаешь на следующую ссылку. Давно искал это.
- (2021-04-24) DatingAdvice ForMen: 非常棒,自定义的部分很多,用起来感觉网页访问变得自由了,快了,流畅了

- (2020-12-29) sander424: Works good, but sometimes seems to completely "forget" trusted websites, so u need to trust them again.
- (2020-11-16) Ohee Mohammad: Great for safe navigation of the internet !
- (2020-11-12) M: Not easy to configure but it allows to BLACKLIST scripts only ! Thats what I did, I only block scripts from some third party (like Google), uBlock doesnt allow it I was forced to block anything from the domain. Plus I love the rect fingerprint spoofing, but it could be improved, for example by randomizing it each time the user close the browser.
- (2020-10-29) Lily: Worked perfectly for me, even the formatting!
- (2020-10-17) Anton Nimos: It works! Requires knowledge of when and what to whitelist in certain sites, but that comes with the territory of using an extension like this.
- (2020-10-06) Rodrigo KC: The automatic chrome translator stops working when the extension is active.
- (2020-10-05) Сергей Разумов: webbug заблокировал фрейм на сайте. После отключения функции, пришлось отключать полностью расширение и заново включать. Блокировка исчезла.
- (2020-09-24) Joel Kleppinger: Love the functionality. However, sometimes pages would take 30s or more to load. I finally started disabling extensions and discovered that it is this extension causing the issue. I have hundreds of whitelisted domains, which is probably the reason for the issue.
- (2020-09-06) James Cullum: I absolutely love this extension.
- (2020-07-16) Rosita Alvarez: Muchas veces reviso algunas app y esta sí cumple su Objetivo de controlar mientras se Navega. Gracias
- (2020-07-13) Fabbri Eric: jai aime cete vercion
- (2020-07-05) 曹玮: 学习者
- (2020-04-14) mossaybo: Very helpful , can do many things (used it for ad blocking , user agent spoofing ..)
- (2020-04-11) Andreas Putra: goods
- (2020-04-03) Tim Janssens Provincie Antwerpen: Would be nice if the most common URL's/domains would be categorized so you can more easily decide if they are trustworthy or not
- (2020-02-26) Александр Брюндтзвельт: Block youtube comments and likes sections, even if avarything is whitelisted!
- (2020-01-27) Angie Fuentes: im soooo happy
- (2020-01-22) JON Cunningham: This for me is working wonders when it comes to blocking WebTRC. Especially w firefox after about config is set correctly. It also helps in Chrome. This does what it can without breaking sites. So much better than no script which i had to constantly mess with. Love this script blocker! It does an amazing job. I cannot figure out why some think this must block everything? It is doing what it is intended to do.
- (2020-01-04) NoName_3031: 这是好的
- (2019-11-23) abc def: with the latest chromium updates, chrome hangs sometimes when playing video, followed by a complete freeze of the computer
- (2019-10-23) Jimy vicente sanchez: excelente, al principio cuesta entenderla y configurarla, pero poco a poco viendo que que bloquea de una pagina y que no aprendes,es la mas completa en cuanto a su tipo y acelera notablemente la carga de paginas
- (2019-10-23) bernard langham: Just recently it has been causing Google Remote Desktop (the web app version) to fail to connect even if all items (remotedesktop.google.com, apis.google.com, and gstatic.com) are marked Allow and/or Trust. The only solution is to completely disable ScriptSafe
- (2019-08-29) Roberto Graeff: Excelente para bloquear! Só não recomendo para usuários comuns, se não entender como funciona não vai abrir quase nada!
- (2019-08-25) The Boomie: If you want to surf securely and get rid of annoying or +18 ads, this extension is the solution. Block anything you want without Adblock Detectors. You don't block the ad, you block the domain where the ad comes from, that's why Adblock Detectors can't detect what are you doing. Such an amazing program that saved my life. Thanks to creators.
- (2019-08-24) Florian Posch: It works like a charm, can't blame the extension for its technical approach in blocking scripts by URL, so with modern platforms like Facebook and Twitter running their infrastructure on many different subdomains, you'll have a hard time getting these sites set up initially. Don't see any notable performance impact on modern hardware, the big problem is that the project remains unmaintained since 2018 and the biggest limitation is that syncing via Google account doesn't work when the white/blacklist file gets too big - then you have to export and re-import manually, i.e. by storing in the cloud. However, this might be practical for setting up new devices but not keeping them in sync. You'll always miss one entry you already have at the other device, unless you really start to merge the files which I doubt any average user will do - by the way, my "big" blacklist files has 28 kilobytes which can only be a problem if Bill Gates would have had been right on that 384k thing back in the day...
