I can understand people with slow connections getting frustrated with constant updates, but in that case you have the option to skip them and simply update on your own chosen ‘Patch Tuesday’ at the frequency you want. Perhaps hackers could be encouraged to only devise new exploits on a given day once a month to save us all this trouble. Grazie mille Giorgio.

@March: Your perspective is still quite hard to understand to me, but maybe it's my fault.

While we do work very hard at making NoScript better and development builds sometimes are daily (but you need to install them manually), automatic updates are not daily like you say. Just look at AMO's version history: latest update came out 10 days later than previous version.
I'm not sure about the point you're trying to make with your picture, but the current version is on the query string to allow customization of announcements, e.g. when there's some version-specific bug fixed by a development build.

::You are at this page because you loaded the JavaScript free version of ::reCAPTCHA, but it looks like you have JavaScript. We need to prevent ::this for security reasons. If you are testing out the JavaScript-free ::version, turn off JavaScript in your browser.

oh, a new website, hmm ok, right-click…no you’re not digg.com, umm, you’re not a blocked object, allow hackademix.net..ther eyou are.

I have been using NoScript since it first came out. I have also been updating it since it first came out. Im done with daily updates. I turned them off tonight. I kept seeing the word "Vulnerabilities" everytime the update page showed up. I get it, the internet is not like it used to be. But, updating and clicking allow is still as much work as pushing allow on any protection program made for browsers. Honestly, if I wasn’t a tech, lets say i was my mom, i wouldn’t know wheter to allow google analytics to run a site or not. My life now includes google more than it used to because i keep seeing it pop up. This is for the new "no you’re just mad, stop hating, just click auto updates off and shush, no no this program is so good i love it! my browser is now mine!!" …ok I understand all sides, really. But take a look of this picture I made. You will understand my prospective a little more.

I love your piece of software, NoScript… and wish to thank you a billion x for it!
BHowever…. I dont mean to complain, but could you please give the (seemingly daily?) updates a little rest? every day i start my Firefox and i have to wait over 2 minutes (slow internet) before it updated :’(

but i LOVE what you created, and please, never stop :D

"but the online audio quality is not gentle enough to my untrained Italian ears :P"

It was painful to my American ones. ‘Twas Greek to me, so thank you for the transcript.
