What is scripting and how do you turn it off...and if you do what do you loose?

Not everyone is aware of what can, should or beneficial to do to eliminate “stuff”......I use ad block and ghostery but some even get by these.

So if you remove Java what would that mean as far as what it’s used for?

Great questions!

First, Java and JavaScript are two entirely, separate and distinct coding protocols. JavaScript is a human readable code, downloaded to your browsers webpage, either directly in the page or linked to a .js (JavaScript) file. Java is a compiled code, not human readable and above my pay grade.

There is, to my knowledge, only one sensible way to deal with JS, and that is the Firefox addon NoScript. Sad fact is, sometimes you HAVE TO HAVE JS to make a site work, and sometimes you HAVE TO NOT HAVE IT. Solution: NoScript. It lets you enable or disable JS on a per-site basis, and remembers your settings. Problem solved.
