EFF, NSA and ad blockers

Nothing terribly new in EFF: How The NSA Deploys Malware: An In-Depth Look at the New Revelations, but I thought it interesting that the EFF is now doing a full-court press to get you to run ad blockers and install things like Click to Play per-element (Firefox) or use the native Chrome/Chromium tools to do the same.

I have long said that JavaScript is a tool of the devil, and I still believe that, but a big concentrated push could get us back to a web where we have reasonable fallbacks to non-JavaScript web-based applications again. That'd be pretty damned cool...

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
