@Shamar @how I think that it would get better if we free our #JavaScript according to #LibreJS and use #ProgressiveEnhancement, so most stuff can be done without #JS, even forms, no need for #CAPTCHA. See https://mikegerwitz.com/2017/06/Don-t-force-me-to-use-your-tools-on-the-Web (by @mikegerwitz ) and also combine http://ezinearticles.com/?Captchas-Considered-Harmful---Why-Captchas-Are-Bad-And-How-You-Can-Do-Better&id=1104207 with server-side scripting and #CSS.

@kensanata you can use #NoScript on FF-based browsers for more granular control of JS. #LibreJS blocks any JS without free code license info -

@angle @vfp having tried both a few times, I find #UX of ABrower a bit friendlier. IceCat has #LibreJS turned on by default (breaks stuff) -

@fsfe Public money for proprietary code? Elections in the Netherlands. The official voting guide requires proprietary JavaScript. #LibreJS - https://tweedekamer2017.stemwijzer.nl/ -

Letalone proprietary code. Use #NoScript, or at least #LibreJS. -

#LibreJS afaik also has caveats other than the license header, some bits about how code is run etc and statements that aren't allowed. And so far I've heard problems with people having a hard time figuring out _why_ their code doesn't verify as libre. If it happens to be really easy, I'd happily accept a patch and I guess @hannes2peer too (though last I read he had managed to fix it for !qvitter) -

@arunisaac I know @hannes2peer has complained lots about how sucky/difficult #LibreJS is. It's apparently hard to make it conform to the requirements (and personally I don't see the point, as the problem with JS is security - and that's not solved by just putting JS malware under a !foss license).
I prefer to just make stuff usable without javascript.
