Nice try, OP.

>>52233990
there's zero reasons not to block all javasript, flash and ads

Isn't that the only advantage of Linux freetards had left?
>>52234039
I'm not going to download all videos using youtube.dl, as great as it is, though.
>>52234071
Here's you reply.
>>52234025
java is not the same as javascript you fucking idiot
>>52234071
only retards believe than a system that can run any executable is imune to viruses.
>>52234085
so you prefer to be anally raped by Adobe?
>not using minitube
>>52234094
Your*
>>52233865
Blocking javascript embedded in an excutable?
The retards on this board can't even read news articles.
>>52234173
It needs to run JS code first, perhaps you're the one that needs to learn how to read
>>52234085
just use "watch with mpv" extension on firefox, you can play them with mpv if you right click them
way better than the original player

>>52234262
That's just another attrocity, another plugin which probably can be exploited breddy gud.
>>52234337
it's literally an extension for the right click menu which calls mpv with the link on which your mouse is above
and it's open source

so and so?
That doesn't make it secure.
>>52233865
Well, it's some Node epp they are talking about, not the browser stuff.
And another time OP was a fag.
>>52234576
not more insecure than youtube itself
and it's much more convenient
>>52234609
>not more insecure than youtube itself
And that's supposed to be a relief?
That doesn't mean shit.
>and it's much more convenient
Except you have to install a plugin.

I don't know, you brought up that shit with insecure?
it's a relief as in I don't have to watch videos on that shitty site itself
>Except you have to install a plugin.
and?
What's diferencē tween javā and JS?
>Malware operators place the malicious file inside emails masquerading as delivery notifications, unpaid invoices, and such.
Not big risk.
>>52233865
Nothing special at all with that, you need to open an attachment on an email to get botnet´d
how do I get this to infect someone else's shit?
>>52234743
>it's a relief as in I don't have to watch videos on that shitty site itself
Instead you have to watch it on a shitty plugin, which, as passive as it seems to you could be totally security raped if one put enough efforts into it. Plus, it possibly a player/codec that wasn't designed to be exposed to the web, so it could be exploited the way some image decoders were exploited. Plus, it was made by Unix Freetards(TM), so I trust them exactly as I trust Adobe programmers.

Most likely you are retarded.

I don't watch it on the plugin
>which, as passive as it seems to you could be totally security raped if one put enough efforts into it.
less than surfing all day on the youtube page with javascript enabled
Plus, it possibly a player/codec that wasn't designed to be exposed to the web
it is not exposed to the web, it's just playing a mp4 file from my hard disk
>Plus, it was made by Unix Freetards(TM), so I trust them exactly as I trust Adobe programmers.
irrelevant argument, fuck you
>>52234071
Linux doesn't offer any security advantage other than 'security by obscurity', as most malware is written for the Windows environment.
In practice, properly configured Windows installations should be just as natively secure as Linux - most of what is regarded as inherent security in Linux is just requiring root permissions to do anything other than execute or open currently installed software or files.
Configuring Windows with similarly restrictive permissions using UAC achieves the same thing.

You can start by fucking off and staying in school, you fucking script kiddie.
OP is retarded.
Blocking JS in the browser doesn't prevent this, my dear retarded friends. It's a DESKTOP program that happens to be programmed in Javascript (it embeds Node and Webkit). You have to download it from somewhere like any traditional virus.
>>52235251
I rather other people do the code monkey job and I just apply what they did to things that would benefit me.
>>52233865
JS is the definitely the scripting language of the cucked
