Manage javascript execution policy per domain

[Stephan Haller]

Hi everybody,

I created a new extension to manage the execution of javascript resource at each site. The repository for this extension at https://github.com/gmc-holle/midori-nojs

A patch file it attached to this bug but it also includes images in png.

Please let me know if you like it and if it works for you.

Greetings
Stephan

Has anyone tested this new extension or followed its development? A basic test run, common sense and a "works for me" is all that's needed, then we can ship it.

We're nearing the next feature freeze on the weekend, so this is a good time to decide.

The extension did not appear in the list for me. This is what I did to test it:

bzr branch lp:midori
cd midori
patch -p0 < nojs.diff
./waf configure --enable-granite
./waf build
_build/default/midori/midori

It should be true that just applying this patch wouldn't change anything to the build of midori. As the cookie security manager this extension was designed and build (by me) out of tree. I don't know the "waf" build system but you need to include the sources there and then rebuild midori. Sorry that I cannot help here.

This is my bash script called "compile.sh" to compile the sources. Only once after compilation you need to create a symlink to libnojs.so in /usr/lib{64,32}/midori/

#!/bin/sh

MIDORI_PATH="${HOME}/tmp/midori-0.4.8"
SOURCES="main.c nojs.c nojs-view.c nojs-preferences.c"
DEST="libnojs.so"
#PKGS="webkitgtk-3.0"
PKGS="webkit-1.0"

gcc -g -fPIC -Wall '-DMIDORI_VERSION_SUFFIX=" (0.4.8)"' "-DALTERNATE_DATADIR=\"$(pwd)\"" \
    -I"${MIDORI_PATH}"/ -I"${MIDORI_PATH}"/_build/default -I"${MIDORI_PATH}"/_build/default/midori -I. `pkg-config --cflags ${PKGS}` \
    -c \
    ${SOURCES} && \
  ld -shared --error-unresolved-symbols \
    `pkg-config --libs ${PKGS}` \
    ${SOURCES//\.c/.o} \
    -o ${DEST}

exit $?

Tried to build it. It works, but icon is missing and you need to add names of files under extensions/nojs/ to POTFILES.in, so it will compile fine. Also there were some errors seen during the compilation, but again - it works. Taken version from here, so unsure if it is neweset - haven't check on github.

After fixing of such problems, I think that NoJS must be in upstream - Midori will be first minimalistic browser to support NoScript-like behavior.
