Forum feedback forum: Exactly Which Are The Minimum NoScript

Needed.
*.cnetstatic.com
No such thing on this machine but I do see "cbsistatic"......which is needed.
As I recall and recall seems to fade quickly now days there was something about allow "third party cookies" in FF other wise things got a little wonky with the forums......login problem?

That's used interchangeably with *.cnetstatic.com - both are needed.

Third-party cookies aren't needed for login here (I have them blocked and can login just fine) unless you want to login with your Facebook/Yahoo/Google account.

with only "required" permissions,
BUT looking in my currently stored c-net cookies, I no longer see purs_1
so perhaps that's the hang up !

So, I've now deleted ALL c-net cookies and re-logged in w/ "all this page alowed" to post now.

As logged in now, I do have a purs_1 & surs_1. Also rbSessionid, urs_sessionid, tempSessionid.

Also seeing curs_gigya appid?? For a installed application?? That might cause cursor errors? Don't know.

I also noted in my cookie manager that all the stored cookies for c-net show as "expires at end of session" BUT,
in fact,there's about 1 dozen there from previous days visits, definately NOT gone.

Apparently c-nets "may set session cookies" is allowing permanent cookies
to say they're session only and hanging around. Maybe this conflict explains so of the weird behavior cursor etc. here.

At top right, with cursor over my name I get blank box w/Yahoo/Facebook icons
& Below & to the right, I get only
the "My Pr" showing. The balance of the word profile is off the screen.

However, I now see that in the bottom arrow black band, when I click on my name, I get profile links at the bottom right of which THERE IS a logout button.<<<< Yea!

Any rate when I allow all, machine behaves conflicted w/ considerable slow down of all actions (about 4-6 times as long).

A system restore to "before" seems to bring back the proper speed although running CCleaner does not.

Since I haven't been doing a lot of posting of late, I guess I'll just settle for read only mode w/o cookies
but good speed!

Thanks to all who have spent their time brain power trying to help!! Sandy

Some browsers will automatically continue your previous session when you restart the browser, letting you pick up here you left off. Basically, it's the browser's responsibility to determine when a session ends, and delete any session-only cookies accordingly.

The curs_giga cookie is not for an installed application; it's for social login (Facebook/Yahoo/Google), and exists whether you login with those or not - not harmful. And the logout option when hovering over your username sounds like a browser rendering issue.

Now, I saw you said you're using SeaMonkey 1.1 (end of life: March, 2010) - I would definitely recommend upgrading to the current version (2.4), which provides numerous security and functionality enhancements. That should give you better Javascript performance and resolve the logout issue, among other benefits like CSS3 support.

Hope this helps,
John

For the moment, it seems the easy answer is to leave a check mark in the "Remember me for auto log-in" but that implies a permanent tracking cookie (?).

Using that, I've been to open 2 times with ONLY cnet, comcom,cbsstatic allowed.
Today I found several more had been added incl. clicktale & version tracker.

I have tried allowing all & then dis-allow 1 by 1 but beyond tedious didn't prove anything but I suspect comcom.com may be critical for buttons?
Not using adblocker only Sea Monkey pop-up blocker.
I actually have no logout button shown and when click name just get blank box w/ twitter & facebook icons in it.

Today, I was also getting many "script may be busy or have stopped" want to continue or stop?? This seems to be triggered buy scorecard, gigya & others trying to force their way thru (despite blocking) which FREEZES machine. I actually see "transferring data from gigya etc at bottom of screen before download freezes.

Not running a GIGABYTE monster machine
(only 10/100 e-card) may be the problem as it tries in vain to deal with the massive (16+)injection sent.

Thanks again & if you hear of more info on "which" please post it for me!!
Sandy

I used my hosts-file to block gigya. Seems to work quite nice.

Kees

I don't think gigya specifically is the main problem but just one contributing part of a large download of scripts
all trying to sink lines into my system! I suspect many of the routes they planned to use don't exist or are disabled for security reasons on this old OS so they stand stunned! LOL! Sandy

about com.com, and also i.i.com, (for images?), they both may be needed.

Do you not see Log Out as I do in the image below?

It's strange that you're getting multiple script errors. Is this the same if you allow all scripts and cookies?

Have you updated SeaMonkey to its latest version yet? I see 2.4.1 was released in Sept 2011;
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/

I'm not sure that a 10/100 e-card would be responsible, as long as your internet connection is a good one.

Despite leaving remember me/auto log-in checked upon leaving yesterday, upon return today, got the same no log-n
situation without allow all this page enabled.

I've discovered that cbsstatic IS needed for the bottom black bar w/arrow & log-in/join which also brings up log-in screen BUT DOES NOT enable the reply to be received there when attempted, just rebound to the before log-in screen shown. Still only can log in w/ all allowed.

I see in NS com.com permission but i.i.com does not appear in the list for approval.

I do not see log-out as in your screen shot, only blank rectangle w/ small Facebook & Twitter icons.

The script error notice pops-up when ALLOW ALL this page is engaged.
The progress green bar at bottom freezes at 1 square short of full/completed/done.

My conection is Rogers Broadband Cable
(which has apparently started throtlling in last 1/4 year) but a cnet speed test page shows above 400+ kps normally.

I also have noticed that the cursor often does not show on cnet text boxes despite actualling being there & some erroneos actions during cursoring back a bit to say correct spelling. I even tried changing mice but no change.

I recall this/ or similar happening several years ago when cnet last did a rework of the site/boards software updating to what was current until 2 months ago.

If it matters my default encoding is UTF-8 w/ western.xx as fall back.
My Image manager is set to show all images.

Yes, Iam still running my OLD Sea Monkey 1.1.19 w/ matching Sun java of 1.4.2_19 which was the LAST version applicable to my old XP SP1 OS which still works fine & seems to avoid all infections easily since Vipre,SAS & MBAM never find anything (probably thanks to CCleaner). The SP2 laptop
seems to have similar problems at this newer cnet (but it's extremely slow due to overloading of basic hardware by too many programs & more that 60% of HD used).

Strangely, I get no errors or problems on any of the other 5 or 6 sites I regularly post to, not even on the one I MOD & Admin for (a phpBB board)!! Only at c-net do these appear to happen.

Mind you, all those sites download nothing or at most perhaps 1 stat counter & maybe 1 session cookie to log-in and track around site, but nothing more & they still work fine even if I deny those 1 or 2 w/ NoScript.

Sadly, I'm still thoroughly perplexed!

Thanks for your & others continuing efforts!! Sandy

only Facebook & YAHOO! (which I don't trust at all)! S
