Why NoScript 10 is the new Ad Muncher 5

I have this strange feeling the addon developer will keep saying NoScript 10 is coming but keep pushing back the release day. 🙁
 
He had best not. NoScript is the jelly to uBlock Origin's peanut butter (and Firefox is the buttermilk bread!), so FF57 can't be complete without it.

For me, Chromium is the day-old bread. (Fresh Chrome is available for the same price with value card!) ScriptSafe is the jelly. And AdBlock is the cheap peanut butter I haven't found a better replacement for. (I see there is uBlock Origin for Chrome. Maybe I'll try it later.)

At least as far as Chrome ad blocking goes, the browser itself is not as amenable to ad blocking extensions. So the versions of uBlock and such for Chrome aren't at feature parity with their Firefox counterparts, especially as FF devs are willing to ad additional API hooks to improve ad blockers.

(Chrome in this analogy would be whole wheat bread)

What don't make sense is, Mozzila made a big article about this very extension, and the migration process, then they leave the dev of the extension hanging by not fixing the required API calls that he needs.

*edit
NoScript 10 is very different from 5.x: some things are simpler, some things are improved, some are still missing and need to wait for WebExtensions APIs not available yet in Firefox 57. Anyway, whenever you decide to migrate, your old settings are kept safe, ready to be used as soon as the feature they apply to gets deployed.

Mozilla still has to implement some API calls to make noscript feature parity with the old version... so, who knows how long that will take, though, I expect sometime in 2018.
 
Wow haven't used no-script in a while since it made web pages look so bad and hard to navigate.
But here's CNN's current front page with NoScript installed - vast improvement! Guess I'll keep it installed.
