the botnet is only one reason to block JS you know. Keeping it off breaks a lot of advertising and autoplay videos and active content. The stuff that doesn't break is the static content you want to see - text and images.

In any case, you may think you have nothing to hide. Until, one day, you do. And then it'll be too late. Plus doesn't it give you a very unsettling feeling having you entire life watched and recorded, even if you're doing nothing wrong? It sure creeps me out.

unless you want to see dynamic content

It's 2014. What are you using the internet for?

Not even 'muh botnet', but what's literally the purpose of enabling it in [currentyear]?

He just said text and images. If you need something else you can whitelist a domain but having the remaining 90% of the frivolous bullshit most sites run killed by default makes the web a nicer place.

well right now I'm on a board where people post text and images. which is nothing that you couldn't do with POST and GET back in 1996.

I read news and blogs a lot. The only content I care about there is text and occasional images. The only things that use JS on those sites are article comments (who gives a crap) and advertising (and who wants to see that)

Notice the theme here? The content is... text and images. No reason for that to be anything but static content. Active content for active content's sake is why we had that long nightmare of flash-based sites in the mid-2000s, with all the problems that caused. And all we lose by ditching it is pointless animations on the interface elements.
