    That setting has nothing to do with Clickjiacking. Are you sure you understand what Clickjacking is about?

    NoScript's ClearClick does work independendtly from script, java, plugin and frame blocking: it is fully effective even if you've got everything allowed, so it doesn't cause any functional degradation. And, according to Google's Browser Security Handbook (i.e. a competitor):
    May I ask you to show me any?

    there is known malicious-links which can bypass FF Noscript.

    Yeah, I'd like to see these 'links' as well. ;)

    Well, he did ask for one.

    A case in point for those who buy Giorgio's advertising of NoScript as though it's the "be all, end all" solution for browser security, I suppose.

    o_O I guess you forgot to put on your glasses. He announced a measure against that new threat, and as a matter of fact it's already implemented in the newest version 1.9.9.81.

    Nobody ever said that. It's you who misinterprets and ridicules all opinions that don't fall into line with yours.

    I don't see how that changes things. In fact, it proves my point. NoScript had to be updated to catch an exploit it previously didn't, which Giorgio was asking for examples of.

    If you say so. But then again, changing the tune late is better than never, I suppose...

    You can check "forbid meta redirection inside <noscript> elements" in NoScript advanced options

    By the way, you can allow Flash only for sites you trust.

    You just need to open IE, go to Manage Add-ons, double-click "Shockwave Flash Object" and select "Remove All Sites".

    If you go to a site that requires Flash for you to see certain contents, IE will display a warning. You can allow, allow permanently or deny.

    Sorry for quoting my self, but I don't seem to be able to edit the comment... Odd...

    I meant that you can either allow it permanently or just deny it, as in ignore it.
