#AdBlockers are a necessary #ITsecurity measure because #Malvertising is a huge problem!

Because by observation I can claim with confidence that most #JS is unnecessary #bloatware if not #malicious as it's #WastefulComputing and used to #track and #deanonymize users without setting #Cookies!

#BlamingTheUser instead of #FixingTech is just a #TechBro way of #VictimBlaming!

#FACT: #JavaScript is a clear case of everything wrong with modern tech stacks and it

Espechally when the situation is so obvious...

If your website can't be used with #LynxBrowser over #Iridium and/or #TorBrowser in it's strictest security settings, than it should be illegal!

If you need evidence for the woeful unnecessarity of JS, please go and look up all the #OnionServices that don't!

  • AS IT SHOULD BE!

@kkarhan @radmin @SuperDicq the only #TechIlliterate here is you. Learn how to use Adblock and/or Umatrix to block undesireable js instead of avoiding it entirely like a caveman.

@kkarhan @radmin @SuperDicq >WHAT ABOUT #THXBYE #EOD IS NOT CLEAR?

if you #EOD then why are you continuing it? I'm continuing discussion with other people participating, you don't need to reply.

>THE WHOLE #ADBLOCKING STUFF LIKE #NoScript SHOULD NOT HAVE A REASON TO EXIST TO BEGIN WITH!

Much like anti-virus and other anti-malware and such, firewalls shouldn't exist, all C programs must be compiled from source and made with benign and honest intend with no malpractices and no accidents ever.

>I AVOID THAT SHIT BECAUSE IT IS A NET NEGATIVE TO THE WORLD, LIKE #WINDOWS, AND THUS I WON'T WASTE TIME OR ENERGY HAVING TO CLEANUP DIGITAL FECES FROM MY TRAFFIC AFTER I GOT.IT SHIT ALL OVER THE WEB!!!

you avoid it but rest of the world can't. It's all over the world, have you seen CrowdStrike outage?

>THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE REASON FOR #JavaScript WHEN THERE ARE AMPLE OF RICH WEBSITES, ESPECHALLY #OnionServices SHOWING THAT THEY DON'T NEED THAT SHITE!

There is legitimate reason, it's called making a GUI application.

Can you please disable your cruise control (aka CapsLock)?Comparison Meme:

@hj @radmin @SuperDicq yeah, guess why?

C doesn't run in your browser and lends itself to making nonconsensual shitcoin miner malware for #CryptoJacking / #DriveByMining.

  • You still have to download binaries, give them execution permissions and run them!
