Disabling Javascript outright is the nuclear option. Most who really care about managing Javascript are using NoScript, an extension. Those who don't care, or don't have the technical expertise to understand Javascript won't really care where the option to turn off Javascript is located, because it already doesn't matter to them.
- negativity 13y agoI disagree. It's really easy to turn on and off. And requires all the technical expertise of tying your shoelaces. Tools/Edit > Options/Preferences > Content > click "Enable JavaScript" > OK Disable it for 30 seconds, while you're using any particular page, and then switch it right back on. No whitelists or blacklists to comb through. Just refresh the page and it takes effect. Downloading an add-on or an extension is annoying and creates hassle with every upgrade. It's not automatically readily available on every computer you use. In controlled environments with shared machines, desktop support techs don't install add-ons by default, and might actively prevent you from installing them. Adjusting a global setting that's within easy reach is not an extreme response.
