It was/is difficult to understand what you were asking, and you made it conditional on both programs running "under" Java. > by convenience.

I don't know about the similarly named, not-similar, NotScript - I "suspect" it doesn't run "under" Java either, but I'm not about to install either of them in order to check ;-p > but read this: > http://adblockplus.org/blog/attention-noscript-users See:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript#Criticism for a slightly more balanced take. > http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/05/01/236248/NoScript-Adds-Subscriptions-To-Adblock-Plus ditto, note that 2 years have passed an no other scandals have emerged - and more people are paying attention now. > http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=126 This last one just lost me... > > I am not a programer, then i trust Debian developers and maintainers, > but it reading information some things seem real. I saw nothing in the provided links about java. The third link is to the blog of the noscript developer. Any program has security risks - it's a broad term. For general desktop and business purposes I "believe" noscript poses (far) less risks than it negates. A good analogy would be looking before crossing the road - the eyes can play tricks but.... The first two links just illustrate the reasons why Open Source is a good development model - problems where quickly spotted and corrected. > > <snipped> Cheers -- "Do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call, every word you say is suspect, you're a corporate whore and eh, end of story." ~ Bill Hicks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
