[Bug-gnuzilla] A future of Free JavaScript needs your help

[Loic Duros]

Hello,

I am working on an IceCat/Firefox addon which blocks nonfree nontrivial 
JavaScript and allows trivial/free JavaScript to address the issue 
described in the JavaScript trap: 
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html

This is well on its way to be finalized, at least for a first production 
version. However, the web is a very big place and it is hard to test 
every single page. We all browse different sites, often written in 
different languages, and it is critical to get as many testers as 
possible early on so that we can take into account all odd cases that 
might arise from a particular site, webpage, or character encoding. We 
are currently hunting for bugs while browsing the web using the add-on.

Would anybody here be interested in helping test LibreJS? The goal of 
the project is ultimately to free JavaScript on the web by encouraging 
as many website owners as possible to release their JavaScript as free! 
An exciting opportunity to change the web and make it a little more free!

In terms of testing, all you need to do is browse on your usual websites 
using LibreJS, and take a look at the source (Ctrl-u) to see if the 
JavaScript is properly removed (it should show <!-- LibreJS script 
removed --> instead of the regular <script>[...]</script> in various 
places. If you find JavaScript that should but isn't removed, to simply 
report it.

This would help a lot!
