Noscript developer was previously linked to a privacy violating software, but knowing Pale Moon, it's probably a stability bug.

I'm not here to be your punching bag, I was answering OPs question. But if asking to remove software and doing it without your persmission are the same thing to you I suggest you use your anger productively and fork it or install another browser. You don't need 8ch's concensus.

When you target powerusers, "noobs" will after some time turn into them.

At the point that browsers are, early 00s (to some extent, but dominance of single browser is enough), Mozilla should be targeting powerusers, because "noobs" will never use firefox.

Its just a warning not a block, both of which you could easily bypass by going to about:config (there has been a thread on the Pale Moon forums who explains how to do this for dummies who never have though).

The main reason for the warning was that normies using noScript flooded the forums/IRC/support claiming certain pages not working were Pale Moon's fault, when actually it was NoScipt "breaking" the pages (and them not knowing how to properly use it).

They aren't wrong. NoScript does fundamentally break things occasionally even when completely disabled. It's annoying but takes 3 seconds to tick a box and change. As of right now there isn't a single alternative browser that has any real addons to speak of. In every browser thread it's always the same contrarian retards shilling browsers that while fast and light have zero addons to speak of and are realistically non-functional. Palemoon as of right now is objectively in every conceivable way the best browser on the market, and I would be INCREDIBLY happy to be proven wrong so I can finally stop using it.

So does umatrix. If you need to be certain a given webpage will work 100% as intended you actually need to disable the extension.

>requiring add-on to disable scripts

Why? For ads? IIRC I read an article about Noscript blewing the cover of a few torpedos so it's technically the same level as (((Ghostery))).

Tor browser is also confirmed infiltrated when they kicked Appelbaum from the project (who knew something) and (((Suicided))) Ian Murdock who also knew something about tor browser being compromised and did not want it on debian (plus a connection (((with systemd))) ).

This is the worst image ever. Not only does it have zero arguments and repeat itself endlessly, underline things to imply implications without saying anything, but it has blatant misunderstanding of how technology works by some LARPer.

The affiliate code in question tells Amazon "This person came from DDG". Amazon can tell that through other means as it is, since they follow you around the internet, especially if you have their cookies, and it's one of the few ways DDG can make money without intruding on your privacy.

Also, did you honestly fall for the oldest trick in the book, the IP tracking thing? There were forum signatures in the early 2000's that would do that.

http://www.danasoft.com/

Oh no, Tux knows your IP! He's gonna get you at [Anonymous Proxy]! Hot singles in my area!

DDG have no tracking scripts, they have an Onion website, they made an add-on to block tracking scripts that is open-source. Their track record is pristine and what the guy who started it did in his past is irrelevant, it's a petty way to cast suspicion. All software engineers have made botnet at some point in their life.

>>921645

The point is that they have no tracking scripts that report your info back to them. Google does have those, and it has them all over the internet. It is entirely your responsibility to hide your IP, use a privacy enhancing browser and hide your browsing history from your ISP. DDG are a search engine and they advertise themselves as such, they make no promises of being a shield between you and other malicious websites, they simply do not record your info for themselves and are adamant about it. If other websites do record your info and track you, that has diddly squat to do with DDG.

Not really. I use palemoon and have for a couple years now. It's incredibly buggy and shit breaks inexplicably a lot. People are justified in using it as there isn't much of an alternative that has any real addon support, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't be actively pushing for an alternative. I think today I'm going to try and get the same workflow inside of seamonkey instead. Getting real tired of palemoon's shit.
