Re: [Trisquel-users] Harmful effects of non-free JavaScript

[onpon4]

Part of the problem, I think, is that Javascript programs aren't run the same  
way other programs are. They are silently downloaded and executed seamlessly,  
which means there isn't a conscious choice by users to run them. Many users  
don't even know it's there.

The only acceptable solution is for web browsers to not execute Javascript  
this way. The browsers need to ask users for every Javascript file, offering  
to show the source first, and then "install" each script that is accepted  
locally. This should be by individual script, not by domain like NoScript. If  
the script changes, the browser should ask again about it, not silently  
assume that the user accepts it just because a previous version of the same  
script was accepted.
