Umm... malicious code, popups and browser crashes/attacks are still common, and still rely on Javascript. It has become much less convenient to disable it, but.

- Groxx 16y agoCrashes are now mostly the domain of Flash, though. JS hangs in an infinite loop sometimes, but that's not a crash. Actual JS-originated crashes are exceedingly rare in my experience, and are usually the mark of an experimental-build browser. Popups are largely handled by every major browser having popup blocking that works reliably enough. Malicious code is what the ad-supported internet runs on. The only thing they can hit is your already-public data - the use of that data is the only thing that can be construed as malicious.
