Me being a person who resonates with the ideas of GNU this article seems unfinished and a bit weird. I know that there is proprietry javascript executed on my browser but it is not the same as running emacs on linux. Browser is effectively a platform that executes the code that consists of html, css, js + data. For instance html and css parts are not something that comes purely from the server these days, but is created on the fly in a library or at build time by using some bundler which will use the same library when the site is live. Javascript will actually be abstracted through some framework as well.
What I do not understand is which specific problem it talks about and tries to fix? Is it all the javascript, or beacons sending data to third parties, or a proprietry program like youtube player or google docs, or what?
This "free" approach to the scripts also hits a wall considering that front-end programmers prefer to use a MIT licence in their source, showing their total lack of concern.
I would spend my time making free gnu libraries, but at the moment the proposal is not finished for me to buy into the idea.
