Re: No f in button?

It's very difficult for anyone to know what javascript or what host applications are run when a button is clicked, or hovered over, or even rendered. NoScript and uMatrix are good ways to stop the JS cascades from stealing your cookies, but BuckFace can also have the host run lots of backend software when you visit the page.
