"Both holes will be plugged in version 2.0.0.10, which is in the process of being tested. Until it is released, Firefox users should use the latest version of NoScript."

"...Until it is released, Firefox users should use the latest version of NoScript."As opposed to users of other browsers, who don't HAVE those sorts of add-ons. I don't mind if a developer takes a little time to do things right if there's another easy solution available.

I've heard that IE7Pro is an add-on (or BHO?) for IE7 (and maybe IE6?) that gives additional security above what comes with IE7. I have not tried it since it probably does NOT run on 98. I don't have the web site for it.

P.S. NoScript has been adding protections on a seemingly more or less non-stop schedule for so many different kinds of potential vulnerabilities/exploits that I have hardly any idea any more what the heck they are talking about. But in general, if it kills a few more bells and whistles, that's fine with me.
