I have basically zero sympathy for people who enable JS in their browsers and then complain about their privacy being violated. I mean, how can someone expect privacy when doing the exact opposite of best practices?
- luma 8y agoSome people need most of the internet to work correctly. Like it or not, JS has become a core requirement for modern web functionality and that is unlikely to change any time soon.
- userbinator 8y agoI have been browsing with JS off by default for over a decade and a half now. The list of domains for which I allow JS on has accumulated less than 100 entries. I do not use "appsites" much, and the rest of the document-centric Web is perfectly usable without any scripting. The more who turn it off and complain about useless appification, the more likely the trend can change. There are already plenty of reasons besides security to turn it off.
- snazz 8y agoThe only device on which it is truly impractical to disable JS is my company-owned iPhone. It does not allow me to install apps from the App Store, so while I can flip the switch to disable it in Settings>Safari>Advanced>JavaScript, doing so is inconvenient since I cannot whitelist the few domains that I’m okay running JS on. That’s a pretty special case, however. On any other device, uMatrix + NoScript works great.
