Is 8chan's javascript free software?

Good idea. I should mitigate the risk towards my security and freedoms that 8ch's CSS represents by downloading known malware, Stylish, and supplementing that with custom stylescripts from a website, userstyles.org, that literally won't load if you don't download popularly blocked telemetry frameworks.

Are you retarded?
XHR is a javascript request to send or request data to/from the server, of course you can't post if you allow scripts but don't allow it to send anything. Disable javascript properly if you want to post without javascript.

Yeah it does. I have to copy paste post numbers to include a reply link, I can only post one image at a time, the post options are hidden by CSS controlled by JS (but can be unhidden by manually editing the CSS), I get a .php file download when I need to fill out the captcha (at least it doesn't eat my post), and best of all when I finally can post I get directed to a 404 page instead of back to the thread. Lots of other imageboards work better than 8ch without JS, but 8ch barely works even with JS.
>>872920
It gives me a 404 either way. The post still goes through, you just have to hit back and your post will be there.

A lot of sites hate TOR users or won't display without running nonfree JS. Not to mention that more than a few professional businesses don't even use HTTPS when you need to fill out applications to get jobs r even shop. This is bad.

Is bothering with uMatrix worth at all? Or is it just a neverending bullshit journey of having to fuck around and fiddle with its settings for each and every website one visits which doesn't happen to be plain HTML/CSS so it even works, all in exchange for an illusory protection of privacy and some barely (if at all) noticable performance improvements?

It's a plugin for people who want to be in control of what the internet shovels into your browser and what the internet gets back. If you want everything to justwerk automagically and can't be bothered to click some buttons for 0-10 seconds for the first time you visit a given website, then download google chrome, tie it to your jewgle account and forget about plugins. You'll be much happier.
▶ No.873166>>873427

It means that I had 1st party css, images and frames enabled by default but temporarily disabled them to make the post and didn't permanently save the changes. If I had saved the changes the triangles would have disappeared and that configuration would have become the new default for 8ch, if I clicked the eraser it wold have reverted to this.
▶ No.873366>>873368

It's not brainlet. It's a game of trial and error with every website to try and block as much as possible while the website still being functional to you as a user. Not to mention, some change at the website's end could make your existing config invalid anytime. And that's basically for literally every website you visit which uses any kind of scripting. uBlock is good because it just werks 99% of the time, but with uMatrix one has to ask oneself if one doesn't hit diminishing returns here.

Fiddling around with uMatrix is about as fun as adjusting the geometry of a CRT display. One setting tends to affect other settings, making it a sort of game-of-15 puzzle thing, only much less entertaining. Imagine you have a CRT monitor and each application you run switches to a different display mode where you have to adjust the controls again and again to try and get an optimal picture. If they threw a captcha into the mix one would even not notice.
▶ No.873373
>>873369
>One setting tends to affect other settings
No they don't. The only reason that would happen is because pajeetcode loads scripts from another domain which loads scripts from another domain which loads scripts from another domain which loads more from another domain. There's no way to get around that except allowing everything globally or spending that 10 seconds to enable them yourself and then saving the settings.
If you can't bother then why are you crying about it? Don't use the plugin if you don't like it, faggot.

Bigger modern "websites" tend to actually be more web applications than websites in the traditional sense (i.e. HTML, CSS, some images, maybe some Flash object or two here and there, etc.). They are reside in the owner's/operator's data center and are served over the web so the former retain full control, but are implemented in JS so that much if not most of the processing associated with serving a specific user is offloaded to the user's machine.

It's good for trimming off unessential third-party shit, but if there's first-party JS/XHR on the site then messing with it mostly breaks things (which could result in anything from some minor feature not working to the whole page being blank).

If you honestly hate yourself enough to be using web applications that rely on Javascript, then you should be smart enough to configure umatrix properly. In the few web applications that I insist on using, I take the time to teach umatrix how to enable the minimum I need. For these websites, they normally require minimal (if any) reconfiguring over time.

It's how the Youtube system is designed. For embeds, they've designed it to fall back to the built in web browser player. For the main website, they didn't design it to work the same way.
