NoScript now locks down loose JavaScript on Android

NoScript for Firefox for Android (download) debuted today, tightening up security for users of the mobile version of Firefox. The new Android version is notable, according to a blog post by the people who develop NoScript, for including all the major features of the desktop version such as client-side clickjacking prevention and per-site permissions, as well as a new Web app firewall.

Many of NoScript's popular on-demand features have made it into the mobile version, so you can blacklist sites at will; set up JavaScript rendering so it's click-to-play, which means that only a placeholder icon will load until you tap it; run a whitelist of sites which will always load their JavaScript; and the "full protection" option which blocks all content, even on trusted sites, until you tap it. Also included is the ability to emulate JavaScript-only navigation on sites that are otherwise blocked.
