- 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.
