Re: [directory-discuss] [[Sux0r]] links to a proprietary page

Hi Ian,

Thanks for sharing. I indeed agree that opening the homepage works OK with 
librejs for the most part.

Imagine when visiting a homepage, it would run skype.exe in background without 
prompting. Since most users don't have librejs and don't know of the problem, 
that's effectively what happens. We are helping various peple track FSF 
directory users by linking to the page.

If removing the home page link is not an option, what about running a proxy 
with librejs on it to disable proprietary scripts? And whenever someone clicks 
a link, open it through that proxy.
