    NoScript is a safety addon that disables scripts, flash, and java applets from running without your permission (cause I'm a security nut), but it seems to not like the snow when I'm listening to the EPR.

    Whenever I go into the radio and click on the pause or mute buttons on the stream, NoScript blocks it as a "Clickjacking Attempt" because the snow is in front of the page, which "tricks" NoScript into thinking the livestream is a "hidden" script.

    Just wondering if anyone else is using this addon, and knows how to make a rule for NoScript to ignore this.

    Edit: I suppose I can always click the "Clear Snow" button when I'm in the radio, but I would still like to know if there is a way I can filter it out.

    I use NoScript, and clicking the little NoScipt Icon and selecting "Allow All Scripts for this page" will allow you to use it without NoScript blocking it.
    I hope this helped.

    I tried this, but even allowing all scripts still results in NoScript displaying a clickjacking attempt. Screenshot below.

    Its a good security addon. Just make sure you know what scripts you allow when viewing web pages (or it kind of defeats the purpose).

    It automatically has them all disabled (so that hijacks are mostly impossible), most of the time its easy to tell, because websites will say "You must install Java to view this." Obviously you have it installed, but the fact that its disabled makes it think that you don't have it.

    On the other hand, it does get annoying from time to time, figuring out which to enable and which to disable.

    Prime example is my original post. I can't figure out how to get it to stop thinking the livestream is a clickjacking attempt.

    Simple common sense will be fine for me.

    I am the opposite, I used noscript in the past, but uninstalled it tired of hunting random scripts on each page just to get something to work... (noscript just disables everything as default) And after some days, when you actually got it working good whith "random" page, the webmaster sees cool to change names at anything, and back to square one... I was not much annoyed by that, but I installed noscript on my dad's computer and day after day I had to tweak it to make some website work, last day just firewalled his computer behind a netfinnity server, removed noscript and installed antivirus and antispyware on both computers and on proxy...
