I agree with your sentiments here (except battery life, I use desktops). Javascript is the cause of nearly all my most hated "features" that websites use. Disabling it makes these websites better. Google does not try to out think you. C

Who says "the press" missed it? I saw it mentioned on Slashdot, Techdirt and a few Australian sites (they seem particularly interested). Plus the few links I saw here.

I was going to contact them about it too but this wufoo thing just returns 404.

Mintty, badly. The first test gives no hat (or I just can't see it). The second causes it to get stuck in heiroglyphs. The third doesn't work correctly either. It looks like it prints xyz correctly, then jumps to the second line on scre

No animated gifs, no flash, no javascript. Oh and since everyone here fawns over HTML5, no video, no audio. Really, I'd like the original Google ads back again, you know, the text-only ones. Though perhaps not run by Google any more.

Javascript because too many websites abuse it for what should be a static page.

Thank god for the "basic" interface.

Yes, about:blank

Now that is how a web page should look! It uses my preferred font at the preferred size and fills the entire width of the page with text. Congratulations!

Why use a shortener at all? All it seems to get you is another point of failure.

I voted for C, but I also greatly enjoy (x86) assembly with x264's abstractions.

I used to agree with you. Then Mediafire started requiring javascript to download. Now they're all terrible.

To reply to everyone here, I still don't get why you want all text on stderr to be coloured, be it red or purple. Most programs can write data to stdout so they put all messages on stderr. Making it all coloured hides the errors in the res

Er, why would you want all the text to be red?

So the only thing I get from Firefox 8 is faster javascript? Why is that useful when I would lose so much? I block all javascript with NoScript and go a few steps further with RequestPolicy and Ghostery. Whereas I want my browser to look

If you want the web to be "speedy", use less javascript.

Sorry, but it still is an additional thing you have to use/run/install when you buy a boxed game from a B&M store. I found this out only after buying one such game. This is the reason I cracked it and then vowed to never buy another o

You pronounce it like the letter 'R'. So "Adobe® Photoshop®" becomes "Adobe-ar Photoshop-ar".

I wonder why he doesn't try the basic interface. It still has text buttons and all the "information density" you could need.

Considering my use of NoScript and RequestPolicy I bet I won't.

What does that show? The people who forked it decided to change the name of their fork.

No they didn't. FFmpeg still exists. It is still active with plenty of contributions.

Nice design. However that article leaves me with a few questions. Does it work? Is it safe? Where's the fuse?
