- pmoriarty 7y agoI do run uBlock, but it can't catch every novel JS tracking or advertising mechanism, while disabling JS can. In addition, I prevent exposure JS vulnerabilities and malware. This is defense in depth, and has nothing to do with hating JS as a language, and everything to do with a desire for more security and privacy.
- tehlike 7y agoI approach defense similar to Swiss cheese model. You can't cover everything at every level, but if you have multiple levels, the probability of failure drops significantly. You can decide not to drive a car in order not to die, at the cost of inconvenience and money because now you limit your options for groceries etc, and you limit the fun you have because your travel options are limited.
