Wow. JavaScript is so ubiquitous now, that running NoScript must be like television without ... television. I mean, NoScript makes sense -- there are any number of scams that require JavaScript to be active -- but so much online content, online experience, now relies on it.

- dmix 13y agoI'm a Javascript developer and I always use NoScript. Most JS is bad JS. Activating it when needed on some sites (such as interacting w/ some buttons) is pretty quick. Plus you can whitelist certain things like Disqus and common sites. Overall the security/speed benefits are worth it.
- Amadou 13y agoI use NoScript too and 99 times out of 100 when I do enable javascript for a particular site it is just froofroo crap that adds noise not signal. But I've been using the web since before java, much less javascript, was invented so maybe I am old.
