## What it is
NoScript Security Suite is a free open-source browser extension that lets users decide which websites are trusted to run JavaScript and other potentially harmful content. It provides pre-emptive script blocking, powerful anti-XSS protection, and defenses against exploits like Meltdown and Spectre for Firefox, Chromium-based browsers, and Tor Browser.

## Use cases
- block javascript on untrusted websites
- protect my browser from xss attacks
- allow scripts only on sites i trust
- harden firefox against web exploits
- reduce attack surface while browsing
- control which sites can run webgl and wasm
- secure browsing with tor browser

## When to choose
- you want fine-grained, per-site control over JavaScript and active content
- you need strong anti-XSS protection in the browser
- you use Tor Browser or want defense against speculative execution exploits
- you prefer open-source, privacy-respecting security tooling

## When to avoid
- you want a simple set-and-forget content blocker without per-site prompts
- you need ad-blocking with cosmetic filtering rather than script security
- your workflow breaks easily when scripts are blocked by default

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
