Security, performance, JS ads ...
>> Every single common-use browser on the Internet supports Javascript
My company provides a web based app to Fortune 500 banks, around 15% of the browsers we see have JS disabled.

- kondro 13y ago15% of browsers? I don't believe it. This has definitely not been my experience. You must be counting scrapers/bots in this total. Security? The browser sandboxes everything.

- andor 13y agoSome people have valuable data inside their browsers. Javascript code can access this data. Also, browsers aren't bug-free, and enabling Javascript significantly increases the attack surface.
- tokenizerrr 13y agoLike what kind of data?
- straight_talk 13y agoSeriously? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_banking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_banking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting
- tokenizerrr 13y agoExcept that Javascript cannot access that, unless some glaring design flaws have been made. If you disagree with me, and believe it can, I would just love to see a webpage that dumps out valuable data inside my browser. I'll visit it without any browser plugins using the same session I have been using for over a month, promise!
