I've not done this (yet). Would I be right in assuming it's as simple as setting javascript.enabled to false in about:config (iceweasel)? What sorts of "features" might not work? With JS enabled (as it has been for me) and Flash available (at the moment I have to "Allow Now" on each page) there are odd sites that still will not work, eg https://www.capitalone.com/ where, if I try to login, it just says "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." in the place where the username/password would be typed. Any ideas on what I might have misconfigured or have missing? (I can only login with chromium; that's the only site I have visited with it.) > In that case I either go elsewhere or > temporarily enable JS for that site only. But just how bad do you consider JS to be? Does it deserve the expletive epithet; is it malware? (I don't know a lot about it. I'm barely past the stage of confusing it with its nominative cousin, java.) Cheers, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
