LibreJS

What makes JS Libre anon?

I use it. It's kind of broken, but not enough people use it to get better.

There are several more web apps ("applications" if that triggered you) that have put in LibreJS compliance, including a simple little thing on my website. The intent is that web developers tag their javascript as free, but:
1) most people who write javascript don't know/care about licensing;
2) the license detection is wonky and broken;
3) it runs the javascript outright as normal anyway, with no prompt or consideration that the user might not want to run it; and
4) it's slow.
https://nonfree.pizza is doing wonders for awareness but even among the vast huge audience it has (i.e. /g/ and some more obscure areas of the internet) it's seen as a pizza botnet meme and not a serious issue.
As for the next three issues, they're looking for javascript developers to help maintain it. https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/

In uMatrix you have to whitelist every site that runs proprietary js.
LibreJS automatically blocks proprietary js for you.

No compression so it will free your internet connection from evil speed.

might as well stop using the web, and go back to gopher & ftp

it doenst werk

Many sites work without js.

I'm supposed to rewrite LibreJS in a couple months. I've talked with RMS about it.

LibreJS is useful because it blocks complete horseshit malware. Most JS is complete horseshit malware.

I was thinking of asking them if they'd been an extra hand, but I'm not much of a JS programmer, though I've grasped the concepts it shares with all the other languages. Would there be anything someone like me would be able to do?

>>61456232

Yes. LibreJS is a special case because we are going to need to find a way to get around the limits of the webExtensions API, so there isn't any coding that needs to be done right now.

You can make add-ons for specific sites like RMS asks for on his website.

Personally I'd like to see one for 4chan but I haven't had time to make it.

>>61456359
4chan has several free extensions that replace the botnet native extension, so there's no need for one of those.

All I see are 4chan ones that do other things on the mozilla store

Thanks guys, I thought the "free" in free JS just meant uncompressed but this actually makes sense. Sounds like a frightening lotta work tho dayum

You still get gzip, its not all bad.

>>61455732
I block all js from default and white list only the domains I require. Most people should do this, unless you're fine letting every site you visit run thousands of lines of code from dozens of domains that have nothing to do with loading the page content. It's also fairly easy to exploit and force drive-by downloads and other such attacks like XSS.
