Summary

Description

The Console extension in IceCatMobile 38.8.0 web browser showing the effect of Application Boundaries Enforcer (ABE) rules written for NoScript Anywhere 3.5a15 that block two CSS files. The operating system is Android 2.3.6.

Deploying a ruleset like this allows a user to do the following at the Merriam-Webster website:

  • run scripts supplied by the site, such as search functionality;
  • The two rules regarding CSS files allow a well-formed stylesheet previously determined as not causing browser hangs to pass through the layout engine; and
  • block all other CSS files, including the two that crash/hang this particular browser version, and maybe respective older versions of IceCatMobile and Firefox.

Only the resources that do get blocked, are logged to the console, as shown in the screenshot.

The partially visible Application Boundaries Enforcement (ABE) settings string in about:config

The settings can be accessed in about:config —

extensions.nsa.ABE.rulesets.USER

The entire ruleset must be in one line. Rules begin with Site domain.name, and rules must be separated from one another with at least two spaces, so, that two or more spaces precede every Site. The last rule in the ruleset must have only one space appended to it. The syntax for this particular screenshot is as follows:
Site .www.merriam-webster.com/*/style-dsp-definitions.min.css Accept INCLUSION from .www.merriam-webster.com  Site .www.merriam-webster.com Deny INCLUSION(CSS) from .www.merriam-webster.com

  • The archived downloadable XPI file is available here.
