I'm not going to wait for legislation to fix problems I can fix myself. You don't want this to happen? Make sure you have ad-blocking and third party tracker blocking on. I go a step further and use 'Quick JS Switcher' for chrome. By default JS is off and I only turn it on for sites I want. The percentage of sites that I turn it on for is minuscule. I'm seriously starting to question why this isn't the default setup for any freshly downloaded browser.
- danjc 10y agoSurely you must use some SaaS?
- jamiesonbecker 10y agoI'm just checking out that plugin now (awesome plugin btw) and turning on JS remembers that hostname for the future. I haven't dug into the code yet though so can't vouch for its safety..
- joesmo 10y agoYeah, I whitelist things like github, gmail, etc. But it's a very short list. Everything else loads without JS by default. I can turn it on with a click if I want to so it's a minor inconvenience when I reach a site and I need it. Also, the extension will remember which sites I have turned it on for. I have < 100 sites whitelisted. YMMV.
- danjc 10y agoI haven't really considered how short that whitelist might be but you make a good point and I'll likely adopt your approach!
