I am a long-time NoScript extension (https://noscript.net/) user. For those who don’t know this automatically blocks any javascript and let you accept them (temporarily or permanently) based on the scripts’ origin domain.

NoScript as some quality-of-life option like ‘accepting script from current page’s domain by default’ so only 3rd parties would be blocked (usefull in mobile where it is tedious to go to the menu).

When I saw LibreJS (https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/) I though that would be a better version of NoScript but it is quiet different in usage and cares about license and not open-source code (maybe it can’t).

Am I the only one who thought about checking for open-source JS scripts filtering (at least by default)? This would require reproducibility of ‘compilation’/packaging. I think with lock files (npm, yarn, etc) this could be doable and we could have some automatic checks for code.

Maybe the trust system for who checks could be a problem. I wanted to discuss this matter for a while.
