I am running firefox version 3 on both windows xp and ubuntu 7.10 Linux. I tried to vote but the votes have closed. dont worry about "about.com" they are one of the good guys you can allow it as a trusted domain in noscript. Cheers, Steven. Hi,

Is it just me or is NoScript not on the the list of finalists any more? Last time I checked it was, and it was winning by miles? Or have I missed something... WTF?

Well NoScript protects me from bad (actually all) JavaScripts and XSS-Attacks and clickjacking. WOT gives an overview about a site's trustworthiness, what's a good thing, but doesn't help when someone breaks into the site or if user content is allowed. WOT and MCAfee Site Advisor can give you a false feeling of security. I dropped the Site Advisor and use WOT. WOT covers known problems. WOT for checking if an web-store is safe to buy from. To check if a download site is safe by default (it's not guaranteed that's always clean). To see if a distributor of software keeps what he promises. (e.g back-door free, really using AES and not a pseudo encryption.. etc) NoScript doesn't cover that, because it just can't. NoSript covers known and unknown problems. NoScript blocks JavaScript and plugins (Java, Flash etc) plus HTML5 audio/video, because it can be bad. It detects Clickjacking and prevents it. It blocks XSS-Attacks and enforces ABE. WOT can't do that, because it just can't. Both are useful for it's tasks, but for me NoScript deserves to be the winner. BTW.: The same poll asks for the best browser and Opera users seem to vote more then others do. BTW II: Does someone give something on such polls? BTW III: NoScript is the most recommended add-on everywhere. Ironically WOT encouraged me to vote for it, but I voted for NoScript.
