    title inspired by Kees...

    I found this yesterday and I thought I'd share it with you folks for those who wants some kind NoScript-like feature in Internet Explorer.

    Will this allow you to selectively block third-party scripts, or is it all or none? I mean, one thing I like about NoScript is being able to allow "www.goodsite.com" but denying AdSense, Facebook, etc. running on the same page.

    Yes you can do that by using the zones, then entering sites into them e.g. the restricted zone.

    tried it and it could be a solution if you only surf a few sites regularly.

    but more than that and it becomes a chore.

    unfortunately, you just can't copy a whole bunch of sites to the blacklist, or whitelist.
    it's gotta be done one at a time...

    There would be a way to add a bunch of domains to be blacklisted/whitelisted at the same time. IE adds those entries in the Registry, which means that with a somewhat basic script you could add them.

    Make a wish and maybe someone with enough knowledge about the Registry portion where IE adds the sites and scripting will create a basic script to do it. Not me, though. :D I'm done using IE. :argh:

    it's a nice and fast browser but there just ain't enough in addons and plugins.
    and even less if you use the Enhanced Protected mode.
    there is no 'Click to Play' for plugins like Chrome and Firefox have.

    ActiveX filtering is as close as you'll come for now.

    Yeah. Wish they had a "Click to Play" though since it's more obvious when trying to play Flash videos. With ActiveX filtering, it's easier to forget especially when you are in a rush.

    QSIZ is what i used for Years on IE, before i moved over to FF.

    Select from Allow/Prompt/Deny & then it's less than 1 second to click in Real Time whether you enable or disable. q2.png

    You might like this too which i also had.

    Both worked fine with NO issues :thumb:
