Unfortunately not (yet). I am working on getting rid of windows but some programs not available on Linux prevented me from doing this step for now. Nevertheless, the point is not to just run open source programs (and OS's). I install a new OS very seldom and these OS's are under public observation. We know quite a lot about Windows and what it is doing in the background so I am no so much concerned about it (yet). I disabled updates so I don't get unexpected changes in the background. And I use Win 7 and 8.1 but not 10. Same applies to programs. I cannot wade through all the code even if it's open source. I have to rely on the fact that popular programs are under public ovservation and that unexpected behaviour will be known soon. For web pages this is totally different. With scripting you install and run completely unknown code hundreds of times a day. An infected or otherwise malicious web page will not become visible at once because they can change very often and there are many of them. Therefor I use NoScript to prevent me from such code. 90% of these web pages using scripting are crap anyway. Scripting is mainly used to annoy the user with add popups etc. Serious web pages don't need scripting IMO. They should provide information and that is possible without it. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
