Abouut 10-15 years ago (or perhaps up to as recent as 6-7 years ago), I
remember people saying JavaScript was insecure and couldn't be trusted and that
people should just disable JavaScript in their web browser.  These days,
however, many sites and web-based software rely on JavaScript, and without
JavaScript, they just wouldn't work.  Makes me wonder what has changed?  I like
JavaScript, and there's lots of cool stuff you can do with it, so it's hard to
imagine turning it off, particularly with the plethora of web-based software
that relies on it now.  Why do web browsers even still provide an option to
disable JavaScript?
