Meanwhile, back in the real world, it is effectively impossible to use all sorts of useful websites without Javascript enabled. Even for freedom-loving geeks. I run noscript by default, but I usually have to enable scripts for at least the actual host I'm visiting to make most sites in any way usable. Especially interactive ones (small things like filling out government forms, buying plane or train or any other kinds of tickets, etc). Shipping a Firefox with no ability to use Javascript would be more or less equal to not shipping it, frankly. No-one would use the thing. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
