so, do you suggest to drop them both from archive (its not like we don't have plenty of other apps for such use case) and improvement in security and freedom of archive might be enough big to simply remove them from pureos archive (we can always change that in future if it changes)

seems smplayer (authored by same upstream as smtube) is sloppy about executing external code: As an example, if youtube parsing fails then it offers to download updated javascript code for parsing - from insecure URL!

smtube is an interactive Youtube browser - that is different from smplayer/mpv/youtube-dl which only supports feeding an explicit already known Youtube URL.

I disagree there is any issue here at all, and recommend to *not* apply the Parabola patch, as it seems to be a result of simple search'n'replace for _potentially_ bad strings - without then checking sanity of the resulting changes.

Yeah, I have similar comments for smtube issue. As this is also indeed Free software and sadly it is not usable without nonfree nvidia, we will postpone the work on it because of obvious dependency havoc it would cause. It also doesn't break FSF rules afaik.

Also, I don't get why the thing is actually a "freedom issue" if it's actually free software (sure, it only becomes really useful if one uses non-free drivers, but we don't ship those. Removing this thing will cause some pain though, mainly through psensor and qtwebengine)
