- Rated 1 out of 5by D81, 4 years agoI would expect something better from the FSF. The default is blocked that's stupid.

- Rated 4 out of 5by wolfgang8741, 4 years agoImproved effort to make usability easier, now it includes an effort to guess the contact email and provides a stock email to send to the site. The default text and clarification of what is needed by a site to be compatible needs work for ease of discovery from the report email, but it is a start. Adding social media options for public pressure might help awareness for LibreJS adoption.
Still lacking is an option to track and manually report sites to add social pressure in an aggregate public list of sites who are not meeting freejs practices. Ispiration might be https://2fa.directory/us/ to highlight full adoption, partial adoption, active declining to adopt (if supported by official spokesperson message).
A community generated report card of sites meeting or failing the different standard would provide a path to sites to improve their freejs compliance especially if each criteria matched rules used and options to fix the issues. Possibly like https://observatory.mozilla.org/ - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 11640498, 5 years agoThis is perhaps one of the best add-ons out there, deserving thousand of stars. Sadly, I can only give 3 stars because the current GUI makes this add-on unusable.
I perfectly can live with blocked stuff, but I need a handy friendly GUI to unblock stuff. Your current GUI presents an endless list of blocked stuff, and this makes almost impossible the browser experience. If you allow me a suggestion, a kind of uMatrix GUI here will be great. You must present the blocked stuff in a way that the user easily can block or unblock stuff. Perhaps the uMatrix layout wont work... okay, no problem... but please, try something different than the current endless list of blocked stuff.
Also will be nice options to choose categories of blocked JS (not just "accepted" and "blocked").
If you can do that, I'm sure this will become one of most used add-ons.
Thank you in advance! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14422019, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by JCOX, 6 years agoI give 5 stars because I support the FSF, however this plugin is not reading some licenses present on the current version of WordPress at /wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js and wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js

- Rated 3 out of 5by jawz101, 6 years agoIt would be nice to know exactly how you know whether a bit of code is free or not. Does the file have to put little licensing blurbs in every file on their site saying that they have to comply with certain terms of service that a group of people say are acceptably free? It's as silly as someone saying "address me as Lord Firefox." It sounds like a silly, toe cheese eating, impractical concept.

- Rated 1 out of 5by andreymal, 6 years agoIt does not block proprietary scripts. It says that a page has no scripts, but a page has lots of proprietary js, and they are working. (I tried to create a bugreport with steps to reproduce on savannah.gnu.org, but the register page does not work lol) Also, librejs is VEEEEEERYYYY SLOOOOOOW, Firefox freezes for 20-30 seconds while librejs is trying to analyze scripts.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14072894, 7 years agoMore convenient than the old XUL one, makes me want to use it again. (And I did installed it just now.)

Feature Request: Can you add a button to temporally allow current page's domain?
And it's better to add another button to let us temporally disable it conveniently. - Rated 4 out of 5by mk.pl, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Josias, 7 years agoSome websites will make the entire browser freeze up if they do not adhere to whatever standards LibreJS has.
