In particular, the code-running doohickey that doesn't even
work needs to die for the pathological behaviour it gives on
Firefox. For example
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm.html hung my browser for
almost twenty seconds with a blank coloured background. This
is on an i5 at work and my i7 at home, with or without
extensions. I can't even imagine how my old laptop would cope.
To add insult to injury, it displayed the page without the JS
for almost a second before disappearing.
I'm fine with some light JS that makes the documentation more
usable or useful; this makes it practically unusable unless I
have access to NoScript.
I actually second this. I block those scripts because they slow
the pages down massively, and often break. I'm using Firefox on
Windows with a beefy i7.
