    Exclamation Redirection to 127.0.0.1 causing problems with ABE (NoScript)

    I am not a man of words, therefore I refer you to this blog post from the inventor of the popular NoScript add-on for Firefox: http://hackademix.net/2009/07/01/abe-warnings-everywhere-omg/and especially the content of its first comment:

    1st Comment[/URL]"]Excellent points Giorgio and thanks for taking the time to share it with the public. I wish that the folks at Spybot would take that to heart and stop loading people’s host files with the 127.0.0.1 loop back and use the more appropriate destination. At least this way the user knows what’s the best practice for the ones they insert themselves.
    So, it is a prompt directed at you.

    What do you think and what do you plan to do?

    *cough*
    No reaction?

    Well anyways, there is now a related FAQ entry on the NoScript site and here is some more detailed explanation in a related thread at the official NoScript board:

    Seems like it would bring even a performance improvement:

    So please change the immunizator behavior to point at 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1.
