Discussion on: Should browsers still allow users to disable JavaScript?

I would argue that almost all users do not know what JavaScript is, that it can be turned off, how to turn it off, and most of all just don't care.

However, I believe the on/off switch should remain in the browser but relegated to deep configuration or command line flags. It should be viewed in the same prioritisation as disabling CSS, images, video support, etc.

At the end of the day it's most likely going to be developers and technically minded people understanding and wanting to adjust these settings.
