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.
