  If you disable JS you don't need to worry about it. ;)

    You also don't need to worry about 90% of the web, either. ;)

      Good thing the 10% that actually matters doesn't require JS. If your content is actually important, it'll be accessible without JS.

        Yup, Basically the only website I have JS enabled on is my Bank. All other stuff I have no need to enable it.

          Be honest with yourself -- are you a representative sample of most people?
          • ateesdalejr 8y ago
            Honestly, I'm probably not. But what does that matter? I save bandwidth and don't have to be annoyed by a lot of ads.

        You guys dont use Google Docs, Netflix, or Youtube?
        • ateesdalejr 8y ago
          Not surprisingly, I don't use 2 of those things. I find YouTube to be too much of a distraction so I've gotten rid of it. I don't use google docs because it's too slow (in comparison with native word processors.) and I don't have a google account. Netflix, I watch on my Amazon fire. :) Edit: oops the rest of my comment contradicted my first part.

            Same, on my laptop I run OpenBSD. Like you, I don't care for Youtube but if I do find myself wanting to watch a video there, I use youtube-dl. I also don't do Google, and instead of a word processor I use a text editor for just about any text manipulation; if I need "pretty printing" I use Markdown and send the output to a PDF. Netflix I get through my TV's Netflix app, or my Fire tablet.
