But having them turned off means that many websites do not work. That's where Firefox and NoScript shine. NoScript by default will block all Javascript/Java/Flash and allow you to selectively enable them explictly for those sites that truly require them. -- John (john(a)os2.dhs.org)

I go to every single Spam site sent my way, an go to many 'dubious' pages/sites in regards to other having problems. Still, I dont see any reason to turn off Javascript or Flash (aside from annoyance issues that is). Quite the opposite to your settings, I leave them ON all the time. I have the extension QuickJava that allows me to kill them per page if need be (for testing)

I >have the extension QuickJava that allows me to kill them per page if >need be (for testing) There recently is (or was) a nasty malware program on AOL in one of the flash ads that really caused havok with computers. Even if you hate AOL, they are a mainstream service and somehow that flash ad was right on their main page. The malware is called Winfixer. It placed a popup on the screen constantly every few minutes even when not online. That's why I dont trust flash player, not to mention the irritating flash ads on almost every site these days. |
