Proposal.
One of the biggest issues ever was enabling JavaScript by default. It shall not!
I already mentioned it for Epiphany once, using JavaScript shall require a permission like location, video or audio. Both Mozilla and WebKit made mistakes back in the 2000s. If a website needs to do manipulate the DOM or use my CPU/RAM for arbitrary calculations this shall require permission.
It impressice how fast some websites load without JavaScript. I use it myself when needed but the misuse of JavaScript is everywhere. From bloated libraries to loading them from remote locations and moving images around (moving it at random intervals…while the site loads slowly) to mining Bitcoins (We were warned?). Ironically you can even dodge nasty cookie permissions without JS.
