Modern browsers are what have removed the nuance. Please tell me what about the Web API for JS is truly dangerous.
Native apps and programmable documents (PDFs and spreadsheets for example) are the real security nightmare.
The danger on the web lies squarely with easily fooled idiots visiting shady sites.

- klyrs 3y agoFor me personally it isn't as much "danger" as annoyance. Most of the web is hidden behind piles of modals, dickbars, autoplay videos, etc. Almost none of that happens without javascript. But don't dismiss those fools, they're inside sensitive networks around the world.
