In LibreJS there are 3 settings for automatic updates

-Default
_On
-Off

Does anyone know what the default setting means, I think this default
setting is checked by default when you install the program

I am all for that idea with the warning message, sounds good.

What I'm talking about is a little different and I think maybe could come
before the ability to block and whitelist individuals scripts. It would just
be a single warning that there are nonfree scripts. I think that might be a
good interim measure, while the other features are being developed.
