    It’s a different name, but I distinctly remember being annoyed by it many years ago. It would trigger on almost every website that included the tiniest bit of JS without license attribution

      It’s not merely a different name. It’s an entirely different extension which does something completely different. JShelter isn’t LibreJS. JShelter doesn’t have anything to do with licensing.

        JShelter does stuff like blocking precise gelocation, determining battery level, leaking local IP address, responding to analytics beacons, etc.

        It limits the APIs that JS is allowed to use.
