Disabling javascript completely eliminates the ability to use the web effectively, unless you're Richard Stallman. 10 years ago we could justify disabling javascript, not today.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoI default to JS off everywhere, then decide on a case-by-case basis if a site should be white-listed permanently, allowed to run javascript temporarily, or not allowed. Doing this allows me to prohibit all the various tracking snippets (as many as 10 at large media sites) while still allowing me to use the web quite effectively (in a non-RMS way).
- bstar77 14y agoWhy not just browse in incognito/private mode?
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoActually, based on this thread, I'm going to give ghostery a try. I like the speed increase of no JS when the site works without it, but there is a non-insignificant number if sites that require a reload after loading the content and finding it won't degrade gracefully.
