This isn't going to be provided in the default configurations of major Web browsers because the firms producing and supporting them are financially supported by firms funded by Internet advertising and user tracking. However, the history of Web browsers proves that it's possible for the browser engines to have robust and adequately featureful extension interfaces that can serve as the basis for user-installed software to constrain and restrict the browser's Javascript engine and related functions to better protect browser security, performance, and privacy. IMO, that's the best arrangement we're likely to even get -- other than perhaps in 'speciality' Web browsers produced/maintained entirely by volunteer teams without industry funding. So, bottom line, IMO, Linux users need to stop hoping major Web browsers will merge in robust and effective privacy-protecting (but ad-threatening) functions into their mainline code (such as 'blocking certain possibilities from Javascript'), as it's not going to happen. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
