Problem with HTML5 storage, cookies and extensions

Post by ofutur »

The v14 branch has the same problems the v13 branch had originally with the Noscripts extension: Some 3rd party scripts cannot be white/black listed when using SSL because HTML5 storage cannot be read.

In order to be able to manage external scripts we have to enable 3rd party cookies, which is bad.

Can this be fixed or were security measures tightened?

Hi,
Try ScriptNo extension.
Far better than NoScripts

And maybe solve your problem...

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if it works on the sites that had problems.

So, I've tried and there are still problems
On piwik.org per example, the domain can't be whitelisted.
It usually happen when social network sharing is enabled on a site and 3rd party cookies need to be set.
This was fixed in a later version of v13, so there must be something that can be done on the iron side of things.
