Once again, this is why I've blocked javascript for years. Browsers really need to start offering this without add-ons or extensions.
- Late 1990's: static html documents + forms - early 2000's: shitty DHTML scripts that added nothing - early 2010's: javascript + gracefully downgrading sites - 2015/16: required useful javascript everywhere - early 2017: trackers everywhere, html5 popups, trackers, spywhere, trackers, bitcoin miners, trackers, etc, etc.
2017 is the year where you NEED a javascript blocker. What's the use of having any security at all if you're going to leave the biggest attack vector in modern times completely unprotected?
Plus, the web has become completely unusable without a script blocker.
Nowadays I always push for HTML5/CSS3 with minimal JavaScript, preferably with server side rendering.
For anything really complex I usually try to see if it can be done as native app instead.
When you exaggerate like that, it diminishes your point. I use the web all day, every day and I have never installed a script blocker.
Not to mention hazardous.
The extensions just make it easier to allow whitelisting sites that you trust and that require javascript, or toggling for the current site.
