My Reviews

Thunderbird Conversations

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Though TB looks more organised with this addon, I end up with an empty Inbox. Don't know if it's because several accounts go into it already or because I'm using both POP and IMAP accounts. So I had to disable it, to read my mails again. :(

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.6.3). 

RequestPolicy

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

First: It does what it should. There are some things, that NoScript doesn't cover. But, NoScript allows you to allow scripts for the base domain, but deny it for any other requested domain. RequestPolicy doesn't. If I genereally allow requests from a domain, I cannot exclude certain destination of that.

Another thing noScript could use, too, would be some way to sandbox all request of a certain link/page and then show the user all affected destinations. Certainly you would allow paypal for a shop, if you were on a shopping spree. Or for other payment services. I know, I could mimik a similar behavior by generally enabling "Temporarily Allow All Requests" - if I were able to limit it to the base domain of the target.

Last thing: an integration with NoScript would be nice, so that you could manage that stuff in one place.

YesScript

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I have logical problems concerning the purpose of this:

IF "Firefox is secure enough by default" than what would be the point in blocking scripts? Especially if, as it seems to me, there is no way to differentiate between scripts. (At least my intuition did not lead me to any UI element to do so.)
You just allow or deny execution of ANY scripts on that page. So as to the parania part: Users might get paranoid with a programm, that does neither tell them, what (domains from) scripts are trying to be loaded or have been blocked from that.

Despite these logical problems the addon seems to do it#s job just fine and block any script on a given page. So you gained hassle without hassle, because many sites have their own scripts and 3p-scripts loaded. I simply do not see any point in blocking all scripts point blank. THAT in fact, might as well be considered paranoid in a strange limited way ...

Boerse.bz

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Wunderbar! Nachdem das einfache Hinzufügen der Suche immer Konflikte mit der Board-Software brachte, endlich eine richtige Lösung. Danke :)

Tooltip Plus

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Just perfect: knowing the URI/URL was the only real reason to always show the statusbar. THX!

Autohide Tabbar

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It would be nice to have the option to set the fade-out time.
Oh, btw: What's the use of moving the tabbar to the bottom? You then have to move the mouse all the way up to the bar containing the address-/search-field and other buttons.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.5).
