And NoScript's developer at one point forced a whitelist of his own site so that his users would have to view his ads. He even screwed up the Adblock Plus way of blocking ads via NoScript and some hacking went on between the devs.

Hey Littlebits, I only use 3 addons but I never seen anything from UniblueLittlebits said:Not only NoScript and Adblock Plus but the majority of popular Firefox extension websites open a page that displays rogue ads that can't be blocked when the extension are updated. Uniblue's Scan your computer for errors is the most annoying of the bunch.
Thanks.![]()

I trust everything I run on my system. If I don't trust it, it doesn't belong on my system.
However, when it comes to security, nothing is 100%. So I do run multiple security apps, (as most people) but that is not because I don't trust any of them.
