I stand by my original comment - JS is just a language. The issue needs to be framed as a problem with the web ecosystem as a whole - the "JS bad" rhetoric obscures the real issue and prevents it from being properly addressed.

And so users are forced to leave these absured permissions turned on by default just for many sites to function properly.

This, as we all know, creates a set of expectations where sites and webapps can be designed to require far more permissions than they really need. Poor or non-existent permissions controls in browsers means ignorant users won't demand less invasive sites.

The failure here is not just a reliance on unaudited libraries from NPM, but also on poor sandboxing in browsers. Many JS capabilities which should be opt-in will run by default.

At least in the case of JS, webpages can still be designed to function with or without it. It's a modular system which gives room for pages to fail gracefully. When a flash app crashed, you had to reload the page and pray the same error didn't happen again.

JS isn't the only web-app technology to have had security issues. Look at Flash, or Java Applets. The demand for web-application functionality was always there and won't go away. If JS had never existed some other scripting language or technology would have cropped up in its place.

I used BearBlog's MS-DOS theme as a starting point. Hopefully most people don't find it to be too obtuse or confusing, although it definitely still needs some more work in a few places

It's honestly kind of surprising they were able to stick by that notion for over a decade.
