* M <moeedsalam@xxxxxxxxx> [2010:10:16 18:48 +0000]: > Why the switch to noscript? and link on the issue? Hey there, I am working on writing this up -- I sat down with Mike Perry, the Torbutton developer, and we went over what each of the Firefox extensions added. It's not in any kind of proper document yet, but here are my notes about the new extensions so you aren't left hanging for too much longer: HTTPS-Everywhere - pre-emptively converts http URLs into https URLs for many popular sites that support https NoScript - majority of options are disabled - allows users to globally toggle javascript - provide click-to-play placeholders in the event that users want to set torbutton to enable plugins BetterPrivacy - exists only to delete flash cookies in the event that users allow plugins and run certain flash apps. it cleans up any data that flash might write outside of our control. (backup mechanism.) I'll let you know when I have a fuller analysis available. Thanks, Erinn
