NoScript 10

because a browser already wants to be all of the above. less is better

Enjoy your unique fingerprint

Because other software is fairly self contained, you use it for a very specific purpose and that's it. Interenet browsers on the other hand are like an extension of your computer, so they should be customizable like your computer.

Don't mind because he is confusing the Unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" with the Lunix philosophy of "do it yourself, dependency hell plugin edition".

Hell yes ad blocking and script blocking should be part of the web browser just as the ads and scripts are part of the web page. Duh.

Gee I sure want to trust my security and privacy on Jewgle and Communiszilla. Actually nevermind I forgot I can use a shitty browser that doesn't support half the internet nor any of the plugins I want instead.

Sorry I should have been more clear what said was what I was going for. You already attract a lot of attention by using tor so the last thing you want to do is make yourself anymore uniquely identifiable than necessary.

With that mentality will you distrust AES and SHA because they come from the NSA?
Fine but that wouldn't affect the technical aspect of them implementing ad blocking in their browsers: if it's good it's worth using, if it's bad it's useless and everyone will know.
Except for the 1 gorillion forks and sporks based on Firefox and Chromium? Come on be reasonable Holla Forumsro.

µmatrix is better
join the ma~ster~~trix race

Do you really think Google will let you block all of their script and ads without sneaking some jew oil inbetween?

Nice reading comprehension.

IMHO browsers shouldn't even have JPEG/GIF/PNG/etc image codecs distributed with the binary, let alone (invariably outdated and slow mirrors of ffmpeg's) video codecs statically linked. Feels too much like 8-bit PC days when your printer had to be directly supported by the drivers built into your word processor to work.
