but what i was trying to understand is;
does it get installed as a browser add-on,or as an OS app that somewhat integrate and affect the browsing in Firefox?
and why would i want to install it from Pamac instead of doing it through:
i just checked and Noscript is also available in Pamac,so that’s new to me that add-ons are available there.
what’s the difference then,and is one method preferred?
Why? Just because it’s installed system-wide doesn’t mean that other user accounts have to use it too. It’s just that it’s available to them out-of-the-box, and that they must enable it themselves in their browser settings.
why would it be better getting it from Pamac instaed of the firefox site?
is it that it’s better integrated with the system?
i looked at the Noscript version,and the one i have is newer than the one in Pamac.
Newer doesn’t necessarily mean better. Besides, the version in the AUR may be newer than the one in the normal repository, so you can always install that.
They’re not related to the operating system in any way, but you are obviously a Windows user, and Windows was built upon the single-user paradigm.
GNU/Linux, like all UNIX systems, was built upon the multiuser paradigm, whereby the user accounts should be seen as satellites around the operating system, and the operating acts as a centralized resource from which every user takes what they need in terms of available tools.
Another tenet of UNIX is that it’s one big toolbox, in which there is no distinction between operating system and application software. In UNIX, all applications merely become extensions of the operating system ─ more tools for the user.
UNIX is an integrating computer operating system, whereas Microsoft Windows maintains a clear separation between the system and its applications, and this is because Microsoft Windows was designed along the corporate/commercial mindset of individual companies supplying individual products. If you’ve ever taken a look inside that abomination called the Windows Registry, then you will have seen this very clearly.
