This is one of those things that I agree with the ideas behind it. Free Libre software and all of that BUT in trying to deal with this via a web addon considering the scale of, the internet, It feels like there is no way this could ever achieve its goals. I mean how much JS out there doesn't even have a license explicitly defined on run time?

And when you run it that is exactly what happens. It assumes the worst and the vast majority of things do not work. All it really does is slow your browser down to an absolute crawl as it tries to do its thing. I just ended up with Noscript and making a few exceptions where needed. It is a much better middle ground than this.

The point of Stallmanites is to chase the rabbit, not catch it.

I would consider myself a Stallmanite, I guess. I use a fully 100% Libre software stack/OS/Firmware where possible - but Libre JS was just a little too unusable too me. When you are running a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo - it runs SLOW!

And how do we propose we catch the rabbit without chasing it then
