Why don't they just offer the XPI file for download? What a bummer. Most of these extensions come in EXE or MSI format, making it impossible to install them on Linux.

Anyone know how to protect a wireless site from hacking when your router is outdated (yeah I will buy a new one when I can)? Thanks Ryan, looks like some great tools to check out.

A phishing site is designed to look like a legitimate site, such as a bank or PayPal, in hopes of tricking you into providing your personal information. Some sites take a different approach by trying to get you to install some software that will monitor what you do on your computer.

And then whitelisted site can change, maybe hacked and then NoScript will not help you much. NoScript now has Anti-XSS protection too, but there is some problems with it, maybe many are fixed. I'am not saying it's bad extension, but like always, if user is not careful, something bad can happen, With or Without NoScript.
