Question: Out of curiosity, how many of you are strict LibreJS users?

I came to Trisquel for more security, but using FLOSS tools like Mastadon, NotABug, Lemmy, e.c.t, whenever possible.

Strict? Zero, I guess. RMS is the only saint of the Church of Emacs so far. :-)

Moreover, it’s not a very useful tool at all. What it allows you to do above a usual CSP-frontend, such as µMatrix, is to unblock programs on per-file basis rather than on per-domain. If anyone is aware of the site where it would be really helpful, please, let me known.

Are you sure, that absconding from installing CPU firmware with security fixes improves your security?

I use it for browsing, using it right now. It's quite useful, gives you a good ability to control the allowed js on a per-page basis on a very fine-grained level.

I use LibreJS, but I must admit that I use unmodified Abrowser more
often because my computer doesn't know which links to open in unmodified
Abrowser and which ones to open in libre Abrowser.

These have been the two sites that have kept unmodified Abrowser up the
longest on my desktop:

Yiddish Dictionary Online

Pennsylvania Dutch Dictionary

Also, is there any way to pin all these to my home screen as if they're
"apps"? Things like FramaPic, Etherpad, etc.

I do not know about pinning them, I just use bookmarks. Framapic and Etherpad both look awesome by the way - thanks for mentioning them.

Doesn't the librejs addon make a browser impracticable
slow? About firefox installing the librejs addon
made the browser inapplicable.

Seems about the same to me in terms of speed. I haven't had problems in that area, plenty fast enough. The problems are in the area of getting some websites to work without proprietary js, or deciding whether to whitelist them or simply to stop using those websites. Other people probably have different experiences, but for me it's similar to working with noscript.
