Hello, I'd like to invite you to take a look at and possibly contribute to our project aiming to deliver user-controlled Internet. We're developing a platform to allow, among others, _replacing_ web pages' scripts with user-provided ones. Besides making websites once again usable with libre software, we also plan to facilitate making, running and sharing site enhancements (features, styling, alternative interfaces, translations, accessibility fixes).
Documentation* (also contains non-technical concept explanation): https://koszko.org/browser-extension-doc.html Issue tracker: https://hachettebugs.koszko.org/projects/hachette Git repo: https://git.koszko.org/browser-extension/ If you have questions, comments, advice or constructive critique, you can also write directly to me: kos...@koszko.org Side-note: project will use the name "Hachette", inherited from Jahoti's extension. Documentation and source code are not yet updated to use that name, though. This is our response to the WWW ecosystem getting more and more bloated with proprietary javascript code and user-abusive mechanics. We are starting with a browser extension for both Mozilla- and Chromium-based browsers (although very different in concept from LibreJS, Greasemonkey or NoScript), with the ultimate goal of creating a platform usable with any browser, with its own repository for sharing fixes and enhancements. We're going to apply to one of NLnet funds[1] that happens to _exactly_ match our project's goals. We're looking for a mentor to help us with this. If you have any experience with such applications, please share it with us. We're also looking for possible contributors. If you want to liberate your web browsing and have some time to spare, there is surely some way you can help, even if you don't know javascript (and if you know it, that's even better). RMS wrote about the need for such facility 12 years ago[2]. How come nobody came up with anything since then? It's about time someone did something.
