> I surf with JavaScript turned off

Why would you do this? Genuinely interested. Do you browse the web with JavaScript turned off the majority of the time or just in this particular example?



I keep JavaScript turned off by default. Then I turn it on for only a few sites of critical importance for me which would not function otherwise. And I don't feel I miss anything, most of the content I care about is still HTML and it should remain so. JavaScript is not needed to show me the text.

That way the chances for cross site sripting attacks are greatly reduced and the content appears much faster.
