I would mostly agree with the point you're driving at, though I don't think I would blame individuals who use javascript responsibly.
javascript is much like flash player in that sense, widespread use and used in situations where it's not useful or needed (read: abused). IMHO, I think there should be a simpler replacement for javascript that can't be bloated to begin with. At minimum, I'd like to see browsers blocking certain possibilities from javascript. Much like privoxys js-annoyances filter, or similar to the way librejs works allowing only trivial stuff. Yes, I think we wouldn't need powerful cpus for most every day usages then. ​Cheers, chillfan > However, like the people who > > join facebook, your actions have a network effect - making it > > harder for those who want to do the right thing to stay away > > from harmful "technologies". _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
