OK so while I'm still using this old low memory machine, I will need a few
things, all as secure as possible, that I'd only use one at a time:
a chat program. I saw a message from SuperTramp about hexchat being better
than pidgin for better security and less bloatware. Though I like Pidgin,
Thank you for all the information, made adjustments to about:config and
installed Privacy Settings / Policy Control add-ons, much appreciated!
Thank you for mentioning Privacy Badger! Added it to my web browsers.
May I also suggest Disconnect?

thanks for explaining. I remember trying CSS and not getting it. :(
that's what I suspected. :(
> Before js, was there another way to have interactivity?
It depends on what you mean. Some things that people do with JS can be done
with CSS and standard elements. Some things by definition cannot be done
without programming.
You don't use it.
thanks for explaining. Now I just have to pick one to try.
I had Ublock Origin on other browsers, but I'm not sure how to use it- but I
did play with it a little though. If I'm using Tor, I know they don't
recommend extra add-ons, so maybe I should go back to IceCat? but .onion is a
Tor thing, right? I'll go read some stuff at Tor's site.

interactivity- is that its main function? Before js, was there another way to
have interactivity?
how do you use a site like diaspora that has js and won't function without
it?
jsless internet is a beautiful experience, trust me, I got so used to
functionality, speed and content over bloat.
yaawn
Misty, use ublock origin in advanced mode to selectively block scripts and
hosts, or block hosts via /etc/hosts.
But honestly, your reaction seems exaggerated, to say the least, again you
worry too much. Btw you can use several pods in onionland, .onion address,
so, if you in a warrior mood
Free software is gold, but it is no guarantee against malicious developers.
Free software can have malicious functionalities as well, it just is much
much less frequent.
Anyway, each new software you install on your box is a new potential way of

> I don't understand exactly what javascript is, what it's for
It's a programming language. JavaScript programs are sent to your browser by
Web pages and then automatically executed, usually to add interactivity to
the page. The problem with JavaScript on the Web isn't the language, it's
in NoScript, if something's temporarily allowed, then the bad stuff can get
in, too, I assume. If I want to not trust something lurking, often I can't
block it out unless I block the main site. So many sites use it, though it
seems very vulnerable.
I don't understand exactly what
Interesting information Magic Banana. I am always suspicious about things too
advanced- big corporations have unjust advancement over the client, and I
honestly don't trust them. So I keep it simple, at least at a level that I
can control and/or understand/manage. That's way I use old
On GNU social, by default you do not need javascript. For the Twitter-like
"Qvitter" interface, it needs to be disabled manually. Some sites will detect
automatically if you have javascript disabled, and show you the JS-free site.
Also, there is an API with desktop and mobile clients, which

Trisquel makes it uselessly hard to recover a broken system. Indeed, a random
GRUB password is set when you install Trisquel. Without it, you cannot
directly boot in a root terminal.

Ill have to disagree with the incredibleness, deficient and eloquent users.
Best to block any HTTP, HTTPs or URL inside your routers. Is more effective
than your web browser, even do I'm able to block in the browser such as
Mozilla.
Thanks. Are all free software addons listed in abrowser?
Where do I get abrowser, it is not in debian 8 64bit's synaptic package
manager?
Ok, I will read these docs.
I'm so sorry I had to leave. Here's the reasons: #1, they use javascript, I
always have to temporarily allow it. I did post a message about that and the
exact wording. Then I saw something called newrelic, that lurks there, I
could block that and usually the site would run ok, they have some

My BIOS idea: FLBIOS (Free/Libre BIOS). And what about BIOS encryption using

Shifting into or after boot is not bringing me to that recovery mode menu.
This may be a noob thing to say but my Trisquel 7 interface looks nothing

Still not too sure where to go from here.
No, no. I wasn't referring to your comment.
My completely fault I didn't mention the user which was what I wanted and
used to do.
The fault is mine. Many thanks onpon4!
Answer to your question: why are you trying to do it from the command-line?
It's easy to answer that: I use very often the command line, it's more
