Hi list,
There are some recent behaviors that I find invasive:
When I open a link in a new tab, I often get a new
window as well, frequently to the same site, that
I have to close.
Some are windows from news sites, asking me to subscribe.
When I roll over a link, it often pops up a window,
small or large, that I have to close.
I feel I am not in control (sort a Windows/Mac thing
where the behavior is what the developer wants to
give me) not what I specifically ask for.
What are my alternatives to get a more user-driven experience?
Is this all coming from Javascript? Is there a general way to solve
the issue, or do I need to research specific add-ons for
popups, rollovers, etc., etc.
I already use and like links2 for some purposes.
Thanks,
Joel
Hello
i am used to use Firefox in Slackware, and Iceweasel in Debian; the
add-ons in Slackware are from Mozilla; but add-ons in Debian are from
Debian. The difference is that add-ons coming from Debian are more
trusted, in my point of view. In Slackware, it appears a tab from
no-script with a script on it, and no-script is allowed by default. It
does not happen with Debian.
Your browser seems, like if it has been compromised, please wait for a
more technical response. I do not know how deep it could be.
bye.
