    Another continual irritation:

    The widespread tendency for JavaScript developers to intercept built-in browser functionality and replace it with their own poor implementation, effectively breaking the user’s browser while on that site.

    And then there’s the vastly increased privacy & security attack surface exposed by JavaScript.

    It’s so bad that I am now very selective about which sites are allowed to run scripts. With few exceptions, a site that fails to work without JavaScript (and can’t be read in Firefox Reader View) gets quickly closed and forgotten.
