    He's either a "true believer" (IE, not rational), or well(or poorly)-paid.

    No, it just seems that way to you because you've lost perspective. Maybe get out in the world some more and broaden your experience of life. Narrowness is never beneficial.

    your dodging of the substance of my delusions

    There is no substance to dodge. The lack of substance is what makes them delusions.

    This is becoming pathetically sad. You have obvious disability and there's no value in continuing this. It's like kicking a puppy. Pointless.

    Ok, say I'm paranoid.

    I have and you are a paranoid delusional. Acknowledging your mental illness is the first step to recovery. You are very brave to confront your illness.

    Yup, keep name calling to distract people

    There is no distraction. You are paranoid.

    If you won't see a mental health professional then at least buy yourself a tin foil hat. You'll feel better.

  9. The Beast adopted new raiment and studied the ways of Time and Space and Light and the Flow of energy through the Universe. From its studies, the Beast fashioned new structures from oxidised metal and proclaimed their glories. And the Beast’s followers rejoiced, finding renewed purpose in these teachings.

    It's a big disgrace to abandon flash instead of fixing its problems.

    You'll have to take that up with Adobe. When the developer of Flash is abandoning Flash, why should anyone else support it?

    How many last week?

    Well, on the 7th of November there were 5,924 add-ons available, on the 14th there were 6,231, and right now there are 6,491. Plenty of add-ons were ready prior to Firefox 57's release.

    Also those numbers should be categorized into "must have", "useful"

    18 of the top 20 add-ons by user count are available for Firefox 57 (counting Firebug which is no longer developed as it has been integrated with Developer Tools and NoScript which will be released soon).

    other sources claimed noscript was read

    Those "other sources" being the author of NoScript himself. No much anyone can do when the developer changes his own release date.

    Okay, but you've already moved the goalposts.

    I didn't move any goal posts, the developer of NoScript did. First he said day and date with Firefox 57, then he said "later this week". Read his blog post.

    Compare and contrast NoScript with uBlock Origin. uBlock Origin shipped ahead of Firefox 57's release, NoScript didn't. uMatrix shipped before Firefox 57's release, NoScript didn't. In the end, it's up to NoScript to deliver. If uBlock Origin and uMatrix can, NoScript can too.

    Me: "Oh...and get used to DRM. It's baked in and you may not refuse it."

    Go to the settings in Firefox -> General and scroll down to "Digital Rights Management Content" section. Uncheck the "Play DRM-controlled content" box and voila! DRM refused.

    ad blockers for Chrome don't work the same way as on Firefox, specifically because of the API differences

    Yes, Firefox's WebExtensions API extends beyond Chrome's in various ways including this one. uBlock Origin works better in Firefox 57 than possible in Chrome (gorhill is the developer of uBlock Origin). Firefox's webRequest API was extended for NoScript's use (NoScript will be released in a couple of days).
