Default OT questions about noscript and notscript
I'm curious about the differences between noscript and notscript.
I ask here because this is the list on which I discovered the
existence of (and the need for) these add-ons to web browsers.

1. There seems not to be a direct, feature for feature add-on to
Chrome that corresponds to noscript for Iceweasel. Correct?

2. Setup of notscript involves choosing a rather long password.
There is no such requirement in noscript for iceweasel. Correct?

3. Is this difference because there features in chrome that have
no analog in iceweasel, and blocking these requires something
extra? Or what?

It seems one needs to have quite a long password (>20char). But
one can be somewhat relaxed about the way it is stored. Correct?
Is there a discussion of this situation somewhere that is written
in natural language English? Where?

I come to this question being with a mostly obsolete vocabulary
of words about the Internet. Is there a well maintained glossary
of terms somewhere? One that includes historical usage as well
as the most recent buzz? (so I can track new vs. what was once
new, long ago)


TIA

NotScripts uses a unique and novel method to provide this “NoScript”
like functionality in Google Chrome that was not previously possible. It
introduces a break through technique of intelligent HTML5 storage
caching to over come the limitations in Google Chrome that prevented an
extension like this from being made before. This is one of the key
extensions that many people have been waiting for since Google Chrome
came out.

NOTE: "unique" and "novel" are sometimes synonyms for "interesting" and
"unusual".
eg. Setting yourself on fire is a unique, novel, and interesting way of

Yes.

Correct.
Noscript uses other, less novel and unique methods of keeping the
blocking rules from being read or altered by site scripts

Yes. (and Opera, where notscript is also used)

Hope that helps answer the questions you asked.

To the questions you failed to ask:-
Does Notscript work?, Why not? and Why bother? the answers are:-
;"barely" (for the moment)*1
; "Maybe because Chrome is a Google product, and you viewing
advertisements is part of Google's core business".
;"I have no idea"

Cheers

[*1] It's a css look-a-like hack.

Some people think that both, could be a security risk, because they
run under java, Is not it?

Wow! You don't half like to load and sophist-i-cate a question do you? :-D

Noscript does not run "under" Java.

People *can* be a security risk, but not necessarily because they run
under java.

I would not trust people who ran under flash.

I do not understand what you say, but it could be assumed as a joke,
by convenience.

Well, If you say that, I can not confirm it, but read this:

I am not a programer, then i trust Debian developers and maintainers,
but it reading information some things seem real.

It was/is difficult to understand what you were asking, and you made it
conditional on both programs running "under" Java.

Thank you.

NoScript is in the Debian repository. You can also just disable, remove,
or uninstall Java.
I don't know about the similarly named, not-similar, NotScript - I
"suspect" it doesn't run "under" Java either, but I'm not about to
install either of them in order to check ;-p

See:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript#Criticism
for a slightly more balanced take.

ditto, note that 2 years have passed an no other scandals have emerged -
and more people are paying attention now.

This last one just lost me...

I saw nothing in the provided links about java.
The third link is to the blog of the noscript developer.

Any program has security risks - it's a broad term. For general desktop
and business purposes I "believe" noscript poses (far) less risks than
it negates.
A good analogy would be looking before crossing the road - the eyes can
play tricks but....
The first two links just illustrate the reasons why Open Source is a
good development model - problems where quickly spotted and corrected.
