Microsoft Edge Experimenting with a Super Duper Secure Mode
I dare it - turn off JavaScript!?<p>Websites doesn&#x27;t require JavaScript, what really needs JavaScript are Singe-Page-Web-Apps-Somethings with anti-patterns like infinite scrolling. You get two things in return, a &quot;super duper&quot; fast web and a more secure web-browser. For example Amazon supports usage without JavaScript very well. Another experience is Stackoverflow, things like the preview and highlighting doesn&#x27;t work. The highlighting can be added with server-side code but this will cost some CPU-Time - and it is not your CPU-Time. It is their CPU-Time? There is tiny feature I would appreciate in HTML-Engines &quot;copy link to location&quot; instead of using JavaScript - but there is this usable hierarchical address-bar a the top (which Google tries to hide) which already serves this purpose.<p>I&#x27;m not against JavaScript. JavaScript is just a tool but I ask the question if good websites require it? Hackernews uses 134 lines of JavaScript, this is alredy nearly nothing. Can you imagine using Hackernews without JavaScript?<p>My webbrowser (WebKitGtk) provides a permission panel for every website:<p>* advertisements<p>* notifications<p>* password<p>* location<p>* microphone<p>* webcam<p>* media<p>A first step would be adding there JavaScript, too? Maybe some nasty Cookie-Dialogs will disappear as consequence. But that is not a loss?
