WTF ... Mozilla had always running JavaScript inside PDFs disabled by default.

But now with FF 88 this option is ENABLED by default. Which means, if a PDF file contains JS it will run without any user interaction. What can possibly go wrong?

To disable this:

about:config
pdfjs.enableScripting --> false

# FF 78.10 ESR doesn't include this option and still blocks JS in PDFs by default. Just tested.

Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse.

In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.

If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!

Simply amazing. #FairEmail is the freshest, cleanest looking and most well maintained MUA I've come across in quite some time.

Completely #FOSS, supports all standard protocols for processing, securing, and storing mail such as #IMAP, #OpenPGP, and S/Mime.

Plays nice with Outlook, #Yahoo, and even #Gmail, notorious for breaking clients, for those of you who like to utilized disposable email addresses (#DEAs).

This is a dream of an email client! It's refusal to support any of that non standards compliant crap is an extra feature that should put your concerns to rest as well - no active sync or any of that other Exchange based Microsoft garbage, yet handles #Outlook effortlessly.

Filtering is full fledged, with customizable granular notifications by account and folder with audio, starring, prioritizing and colorized labeling.

Everything is local, so your data doesn't have to exist on some 3rd party providers servers, being indexed and read by that companies temp contractors.

Pairs this with #OfflineIMAP for a complete mail delivery, archiving, and filtering solution on your own infrastructure that is both secure and completely under you're ownership and control.

Get it now at the F-Droid repo, via G-Droid, or sideloading directly from the Dev's public repo!
