Kudos for removing all 3rd party scripts, not only ad networks.
As builders of web systems, we need to be conscious of which 3rd parties are gaining access to private user data. There's no reason in hell any Google or Facebook widget should be embedded in my health care providers website, yet somehow that's a thing. Any other website is usually even worse.
I personally use NoScript with whitelisted scripts when I know I need them, else I am protected by default. This shouldn't be required, especially for users who have no idea about these scripts and what they actually do.
Fuck that.

- zer0gravity 10y agoCommodity has its price. Move fast and disregard all privacy isn't always an option, especially if you care about a certain moral hygene. But who cares in the post-truth epoch right ?
- monatron 10y agoI find a lot of value in federated login through Google and Facebook. I'd rather have the hardest parts of authentication handled by their services than relying on thousands of different developers rolling their own solutions with varying levels of sanity.
- criddell 10y agoWhy do blogs need readers to log in?
- saint_fiasco 10y agoSo commenters have to go through a registration process before commenting. It makes moderation easier.
