Nowadays you can't realistically expect to browse the internet with Javascript disabled.
- philtar 12y agoThat's not fair to say. A vast majority of drive-by attacks happen because of java/javascript/flash I should be able to browse the internet without scripts if I want to for my safety's sake.
- LukeB_UK 12y agoYou can if you want, but you shouldn't expect everything to work. If you disable something, you can't complain when sites try to use something that's, more often than not, enabled.

- aw3c2 12y agoYou have no idea how nice the majority of web is that way. Sites load fast, they don't spawn annoying rubbish, tracking is mostly broken, cpu usage is low, etc etc. Maybe I should write about it some day.
- Sir_Cmpwn 12y agoPlease don't write about it. The world could do without more of you.
- idlewan 12y agoPlease do write about it. I used noscript for a while in blocking everything mode, then requestpolicy for better filtering, but got tired of having to allow stuff for most of my browsing (now I'm on adblock privacy + ghostery + privacy badger + cookie monster + biscuit + self-destructing cookie + smart referer). I'd love to read about what others do and their usage, how they get around.
- logn 12y agoI use NoScript but have enabled the option "Temporarily allow top-level sites by default". That means any site I directly visit is allowed to run JS. But any references to scripts on other domains are blocked. That makes the web pretty usable but more secure.
