Here is the link to the survey: https://de.surveymonkey.com/s/MFKXYLP You might get more feedback if you weren't using a proprietary SaaSS (service as a software substitute) that also causes privacy violations by asking users' browsers to report to the proprietary privacy invading Google Analytics service.

I use NoScript and enable the minimal set of JavaScripts for every page they need to run. Most probably this is overkill and I take this request back.

I just felt that for a few checkboxes and radio buttons it is overkill to run JavaScript. You're not the only one who is irritated by this, and I also use NoScript, pretty aggressively block Javascript, and am reluctant to turn it on. I'm surprised the survey worked with elinks, since this is a known problem with SurveyMonkey and something that never fails to annoy me when getting surveys from there. Although I often sigh and temporarily enable Javascript just for that site if I care about the survey. That said, I know enough people who are web developers to understand why they do this sometimes. It's hard to get things to work properly without Javascript in a world where you have wildly varying screen sizes and display interfaces between mobile and desktop, and where the UI models offered by HTML and CSS alone are limited. I just wish they'd degrade more smoothly, and that sites would do less of pulling Javascript in from half the web and creating all sorts of tracking and privacy leak points in the process. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
