> You seem to be in favour of some JS running but not other JS

No, sorry if I was unclear. What I'm in favor of is my extensions being able to handle/filter web requests on PDFs the same as they do for webpages, irrespective of JS settings. JS is only under discussion here because of the linked commit and I'm saying that's not good enough.

Ok, anyway I agree with that completely, which is why I disabled PDFs opening automatically and have to click to open (via a standlone reader, not browser plugin). It's basically the same situation as the bad old days of having Flash load automatically and it making whatever requests it wants...

However, you probably don't want your Cloud-to-Butt extension reading/modifying requests made by your password-manager extension - which is how I understood the NOFIX comment.
