Liberal Mob Claims Another Scalp (Why I just dumped Firefox and Thunderbird)
On twitter the author of this piece goes on to make an excellent point.
This same Eich is the creator of the JavaScript web programming language.
Expect Mozilla to be consistent in its views and remove all javascript ability in 3... 2...
BTW: I have move to Chromium as a browser. It is the Open Source project that Google Chrome is based on.
I have not yet picked a mailer.
For those who are tech savvy, any suggestion on an Open Source mailer which can handle pgp/gpg encryption/signing would be appreciated.

I'm using Evolution and its integration with PGP/GPG (GNU Privacy Guard - amounts to the same thing) works fantastic for both automatic signing/encryption and sign verification/decryption. I'm using it to link up to a http://countermail.com mail account ($60/year). This company automatically takes in traditional clear text email and encrypts it with your public key, making sure that even if your POP/IMAP username and password are ever sniffed, or if the government puts out a court order to inspect your mail folder, all they will see is PGP armored ciphertext.
I'm looking to dump Firefox over this as well. I'm uncomfortable with Chromium as I view it as just another brand of evil. Still on the hunt. Looked at Opera, but looks like they're changing their rendering engine to the one Mozilla or Google invented (can't remember which at this point).
Well, I checked out Konqueror and found it to be just awful. Wouldn't even render galtsgulchonline in a usable way. I was getting ads even when logged in, and I couldn't click articles and read anything and then when I tried to logout it just scrolled my page down.
After reading the Wiki page, a belief that Chromium is basically Google Chrome seems justified to me!
After having played around with Epiphany for about 30 minutes, I like what I see.
A) It supports private browsing mode, where everything is kept cached in RAM and nothing is saved to disk.
B) Support for commonly fouled-up plugins like FlashPlayer looks good.
C) Built-in Ad blocker.
D) When web servers attempt browser identification, they get a response that the browser is simultaneously...
AppleWebKit/538.1, Safari/538.1, Mozilla/5.0, and Epiphany/3.10.3
So, compatibility ought to be good.
Now if I can just find a "per-website javascript enable/disable" plugin, I'll be all set :-)
Although, if I have to, there's always Mutt.
So, mutt has nostalgia value.
employment one would think there'd be one saying you couldn't fire someone for their political beliefs
I think that he should sue as well, but sue to have Mozilla be consistent and remove all JavaScript capability from their browser.
If he won, it would *kill* Firefox dead.
To distance itself further from the language's creator, #mozilla should rebrand JavaScript as MiracleScript. #firefoxboycott #AtlasShrugged
Sometimes it seems like "Social Science" is an oxymoron and answers to social problems are crowd-sourced. It surely is a mine field for an Objectivist.
