NoScript in SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey 2.53.14 coming soon. Discover Bank spamming for Microsoft Edge while Microsoft Outlook WebMail crashed for a whole day.
I got NoScript working in SeaMonkey, but you have to use an unsupported version (5.1.9) off of the NoScript Web site that still has the XUL user interface.
From what I can tell, this version seems to work okay.
Mozilla has more or less cut SeaMonkey loose and won’t even allow them to use their crash reporting infrastructure anymore, and they lose maintainers faster than people become interested in it. But it has made it this far and it will probably go on for the foreseeable future.
So far the only site where the Bloated version doesn’t seem to work in SeaMonkey appears to be Facebook, which is very unimportant anyway. It’s text entry boxes that don’t work and you can use a UA hack to say you use Opera 12.16 or something just for that site and use the Legacy Mobile version. I’m getting sick of the Web anyway but as long as I have to use it, I think SeaMonkey makes the most sense for me.
SeaMonkey 2.53.14 beta 1 was recently released. It somewhat improves Web compatibility with more select backports from later versions of Gecko, but also drops some dead code. In some cases, this was getting embarrassing, like the button to launch AOL Instant Messenger from the Address Book or the About Plugins feature which makes no sense now that no NPAPI plugins work in any current Web browser anyway.
I’ll just wait to update until Fedora brings in the final release and then I’ll go over it and see if it fixes anything that matters to me.
