Online Shopping and Firefox/NoScript

23 Jun

Damn! Can’t they just build websites that WORK WITHOUT JavaScript? I get all kind of “false alarms” like XSS attemts, Submit Buttons not working, one shop even managed to charge me 4 (!) times in my credit card.
Note to myself: Always *disable* any browser protection when you go shopping. Or use amazon or one of the other rare shops that get it right.

Any of you guys this experiencing too? I’m pretty pissed of.

After we fell victim to online fraud, I vowed never to use IE again for any online activity. I’m currently using a live Linux CD with Firefox for Internet Banking – that’s all it does.

My wife has just spent an hour on Sainsbury’s trying to do the week (months?) shopping. NoScript kicks in. All goes pear-shaped and now we have to figure out who’s going to have to make the trip to the shops. Or then again, there is that Windows machine sitting in the corner….

So, thanks Sainsbury’s. All my efforts to drum into my wife that it’s not safe ever, ever, ever to do Internet shopping on the kids computer regardless of how up to date the anti-virus have now gone down the pan.
