3 years agoIt’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.

If “forever” means the same thing as “a few months”, I agree!
JShelter isn’t about licensing, it’s about API usage. It can also combat threats from free javascript. I use it in combination with uMatrix. Just allowing or rejecting javascript from a particular domain isn’t enough. JShelter isn’t LibreJS. It doesn’t limit what javascript gets loaded, it limits what that javascript can do.
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.
