Many sites like “Elude” work perfectly without javascript, that is, without compromising the privacy and security of their users and allowing their use through tools to escape censorship such as Tor.

This is a necessity to allay doubts about Lemmygrad being a honeypot.

    It’s not about state secrets…it is about user rights which is paramount to the free software movement. If developers really feel JS is necessary (its not) they should at least limit themselves to libre-js (they don’t).

      If you want to tell us how to do our work, then you should pay us. Otherwise, the software is available as is.

        I think you mis-understood my comment, I was only pointing out fsf philosophy which isn’t solely to hide “state secrets”, I have no problem using as is (since obviously, I am).
