    I hope that this nasty #Cryptocurrency mining #Javascript trend at least serves to educate more people on why #NoScript is important.

      @skoll3 well-pointed. I should try it among some other !privacy add-ons for firefox someday

      @thatbrickster that's an interesting idea, wonder if it'll work well. And you're right. We can't underestimate how evil #advertisers can get

      @zoowar sounds like a 2010s' version of the "CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE THE 1000000TH VISITOR" pop-ups.

      @thatbrickster @lnxw48a1 yup, and one could say that "not paying to surf" was what started the whole ad/tracking business in the web

      @thatbrickster @kzimmermann Maybe, but ad-supported services have a long history. Juno's "free" ad-supported e-mail service debuted sometime in the 1990s with the slogan "e-mail is supposed to be free" By 1997, AOL's explosive growth had started. #AOL had ads everywhere. When I would go to close down the program, there would be several windows behind other windows (within the application's main window), most of which were ads or DMs from someone wanting to sell something or recruit MLM downlines.

      @lnxw48a1 @thatbrickster damn, that invasive pop-up era... we were young and naive back then. #nostalgia

      @kzimmermann @skoll3 you'll have no choice if you go to #ungoogled-chromium (noscript is FF-only). Luckily #uMatrix is much better

      @timleary @skoll3 in what ways is #uMatrix better? I agree that the new NoScript UI sucks but otherwise can't see how could it improve

      @kzimmermann For one thing, with the new #NoScript, it isn't clear to me how to _temporarily_ accept #JavaScript from a site, nor how to revoke those temporary permissions. I haven't used #uMatrix yet, but I'll be willing to take a look.

      @lnxw48a1 true that. What I heard is that uMatrix also prevents the domain serving the script from connecting, but I never tried it.

      @timleary @skoll3 so it's more or less like a firewall for your browser? That sounds pretty neat. Like browsing was supposed to be done
