Hello hardened-list, |
| 9 |
I would like to point out that I am still able to run icecat-9.0.1 |
| 10 |
without any pax feature disabled by patching the ebuild as shown by the |
| 11 |
attached patch. Basically I applied the patch from Bug #396275 and |
| 12 |
disabled both methodjit and tracejit. And now icecat (including |
| 13 |
addons like noscript) runs without being pax-marked. |
| 14 |
I am well aware of the warnings that the Javascript engine runs slower |
| 15 |
without methodjit (by the way, why was that USE flag dropped?). I use |
| 16 |
Javascript only when absolutely necessary, so I might not be the best |
| 17 |
judge, but I don't see any noticeable impact on performance. Neither do |
| 18 |
I use flash plugin or something like that, so neither can I say whether |
| 19 |
flash will work without pax-marking. |
| 20 |
May solution may not be workable for everybody. But I don't see a |
| 21 |
reason why not to give it a try for ones like me who want a browser with |
| 22 |
reasonable JS management (as provided by the noscript addon) but do not |
| 23 |
need all the flashy extras. It should be up to the user to decide which |
| 24 |
features to enable. |
| 25 |
Best regards |
