Again, with the same “Safest” setting and Javascript enabled True, forum content is readable. However, I recently changed my about:config settings to Javascript enabled false with the browser mode still set to “Safest” and none of the forum messages were readable. If I chose to reply, I would ‘bite the bullet’, change my settings to “Safer” and login. Until recently, I would simply set my browsing mode to “Safest” and read various posts in the forum - which led me to assume that no Javascript was needed to passively access content.
At least, that is what appears to be the case. Aside from my disappointment that this forum does not allow users to participate without using javascript (a known risk to both privacy and security), it also does not appear to allow me to read posts if I have javascript completely disabled in Tor Browser. Read more:Īlthough discourse does require javascript to function, it allows non-js users to interact with it We also care a lot about privacy, but our primary focus is security. Privacy and security are often complementary, but sometimes they come apart (and, in a some cases, are even opposed). Rather, the main value it aims to maximize is security. It’s a common misconception that Qubes OS is “privacy-centered” in the sense that privacy is the main value it aims to maximize. If you wish there weren’t one at all, probably best just not to use it and pretend it doesn’t exist. So, the choice is between having this forum, having a worse one, or not having one at all. There are frequent posters here who interact with the forum purely via email.Īs deeplow pointed out, if there were a better forum option, we would consider using it, but there doesn’t seem to be. Then you never have to use JS (or even a web browser). If you don’t want to use it, you don’t have to.Īs deeplow pointed out, you can also just use mailing list mode with this forum. The forum is just an extra venue on top of those.
That’s why we only had mailing lists for many years. Weird how forum dedicated to privacy-centered OS requires JS for basic functioning (like log in or write a reply). How to share internet from one VM to another \ how does whonix gateway creates network?
