NSA++: NoScript is Back on your Android Smarphones
Posted by: Giorgio in Clickjacking, Mobile, CSRF, XSS, Security, Mozilla, NoScript
NSA++ (NoScript Anywhere Plus Plus, or NoScript 3.5 alpha for Android Native) has been in the works for a while now, and it’s finally ready for prime time, thanks also to the continuous help of the NLNet Foundation.
Even if it’s not as complete as its legacy Electrolysis-orphaned obsolete predecessor (NSA, designed for the now discontinued XUL Fennec, AKA Firefox 4 Mobile) yet, NSA++ already provides the best security you can get in any mobile browser: beside its trademark flexible script blocking facility, it features the first ever and still strongest XSS filter available, plus partial but functional portings of the unique ClearClick anti-Clickjacking technology and ABE’s firewall/LAN CSRF protection.
You can read more or try it with a recent Firefox Nightly (mobile or desktop, too!) on the NSA project page.

This. This is awesome. And just on the day I go looking for it. Is there a timeline for when it'll be available on non-Nightly?

@Nick:
Certainly by the time Firefox 18 becomes stable.

@Giorgio:
Oh cool, that's great news. Being the NoScript type, I prefer to keep "allow apps from unknown sources" unchecked. (Not possible when running Nightly.)

Unquestionably imagine that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to
be at the net the easiest factor to consider of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst other people consider issues
that they plainly do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail
upon the highest and also outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other folks can
take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thank
you
