Please allow disabling of sync #331

Hi. Whenever I enable addons syncing in Firefox (I tried recently and a few years ago with the same result) NoScript starts forgetting some whitelist pages (seemingly randomly). It still keeps some of them, but loses others. If I add the lost ones again, the next time I run Firefox they will be lost again, or sometimes kept, and others will be lost. I think that this may be related to the 100kB limit in the sync data you have written about in this comment: https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/issues/91#issuecomment-751805238

It doesn't seem the sync is going to be working any time soon, so my request is so you add an option to disable the sync completely for NoScript (at least the white list sync, since it seems to have issues). Firefox does not have an option to disable sync for a specific addon, and I would like my other addons to sync.

I agree!

  1. I too have been noticing the loss of some but not all whitelisted pages for the last few months.
  2. Turning off syncing just for NoScript would be great! I want Firefox to sync many things, but between Mac and PC, home and work (and sysadmin), I browse very differently on different systems, so I don't sync tabs or history. For each to have it's own NoScript whitelist too would be ideal.

I'm planning to stop using sync storage at all in a near future version of NoScript: it has never been very reliable, and browser vendors have repeatedly signaled its de-facto deprecation for general purpose persistence, especially for big chunks of data and/or mission-critical information.

Chiming in to report the same issue on my end. Hoping that this can be resolved soon.

Is THIS why whenever I use my (seldom-used) linux laptop and use Firefox, NoScript permissions on my main desktop client are seemingly reset back to default, save for a small handful of sites?
