Re: Browser Privacy

Allegedly, on or about 23 August 2016, Drew Samson sent: At which point, you may as well have not bothered with using NoScript, in the first place. Sure, this half measure has stopped some of the nonsense (the other things that would also have loaded), but you're still exposed to the risk that many people are trying to mitigate (whether that be privacy, hacking, or simply having your computer grind to a halt under the burden of many badly programmed scripts). I tend to go through the annoying route, of temporarily allowing likely looking scripts, one by one, until either the page works, or I'm so annoyed with it that I abandon it. If there are sites that I want to regularly use, I consider permanently allowing the scripts that were needed to make them work. But don't always do so. It's slightly less of a risk if they're self-hosted than coming from a third party. But that could be faked, they could be proxying a third-party script through their own domain. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
