Howdy,
I am not a developer of NoScript plugin, but I am a user. The change
to disable all existing plugins exposes users who care about security.
I allow very few sites to run javascript and I am shrinking the list.
Forcing NoScript to write a javascript interface is somewhat ironic and
bad for security. I want to be able to never run javascript most days.
Remember that if you allow javascript, you are essentially saying the
site can do anything they want with your computer. Some will deny this,
but they are not paying attention to the real world.
Thank you for your consideration,
Ralph

NoScript will not be disabled. It is a browser extension (sometimes
called an add-on), not an NPAPI plugin.

Wonderful. I can continue setting it up for people who ask me which
browser to use. NoScript on Firefox is a compelling reason to recommend
Firefox.
Thank you and have a good day
