So, in a crusade for free software, you want to censor gnu.org. That looks clever... Will you realize at some point that you do not know what free software is about? You do not even know what software is! A network, such as the as the Internet, is not software. A content, such as text/images/videos published on a website (or textures/models/sounds/music in a video game) is not software. I thought you were just pretending to know how to program. However, querying "stas730" on https://duckduckgo.com/html/ (with no proprietary JavaScript, contrary to what you seem to claim in this thread), I got this as the first result: https://github.com/stas730 How ironic? GitHub. That "does not work without running nonfree JavaScript": https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html#GitHub Worse: that page actually states that your two most recent "popular repositories" both deal with the proprietary game "World of Warcraft". You are an impostor.

Ever heard of "freedom of expression"? You clearly show us, over and over, that you do not know what free software is (Internet is a network: it cannot be free or non-free), that you know little about security and privacy, and, I guess, that you probably cannot even program (any reference?).

Yes, my main language is Russian. 0. Block non-free websites 1. If the Internet is non-free (the non-free software installed to the largest Internet providers) and spying, we must to fight with the non-free software using my secret project. I can tell info, but not now. I need to use very secure system over Tor, SSL, OTR/PGP and other security. My provider shouldn't receive more info. I talked with my friend using unencrypted chat, but I cannot publish my plans because provider can think "I'm just an idiot" now, but if i publish it and start development… After some months you can write me an PM. I will send info how to contact me using encrypted chat. My project will be released into Internet for fighting non-free software. But I think, I don't need to trust people. They can ruin my life. Hint: if non-free software > free software, we should not use a software at all… because free software can be destroyed by a non-free worm.

DRM always is proprietary software. Disabling JavaScript, sending an empty user agent, ... would make fingerprinting far easier, i.e., would work against the "anonymity" goal. "Safe Browsing" does not "block non-free content". It protects against malware, such as phishing thank to information from... Google: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work For anonymity, the Tor Browser is, today, the best. It is clear from what you write that you would not do better. To not execute proprietary JavaScript, an alternative to disabling JavaScript is the LibreJS extension. It is enabled by default in GNU IceCat, which also has its own 100% free add-on site. IceCat's default security and privacy are better than Firefox's too (HTTPS-Everywhere, SpyBlock, some fingerprinting countermeasures). As for GCC, it can compile itself but other C++ compilers can compile it as well. That conceptually only pushes the problem further. However, the very first compiler for a language can be written in another language (including assembler) and there is the bootstrapping technique, which is very popular: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers) Anyway, I do not understanding why compiling with GCC would be a relevant requirement (e.g., LLVM is free software too). Anyway, Firefox usually is compiled with GCC.
[Trisquel-users] Re : DuckDuckGo? Change to YaCy.
As far as I know, my browser does not run any proprietary software (e.g., JavaScript) when searching the Web from https://duckduckgo.com/html I do not execute the code to crawl the Web, order the results, etc. And I am not even sure that code is proprietary. If the company behind DuckDuckGo is the only user of that code, then it trivially is free software.
