Quoting Mark Roberts <[email protected]>:
Quite right. There's nothing wrong with a bit of JavaScript. What I object to is JavaScript that loads other JavaScript from third parties. Some of that, in the case of Flickr, seems to itself load still more JavaScript from *fourth* parties. The security risk becomes too great at that point. If I'm visiting whatever.com I'm usually OK with running JavaScript from whatever.com. If the JavaScript at whatever.com tries to load JavaScript from somewhere-else.com I'm cautious. And if the JavaScript from somewhere-else.com tries to load JavaScript from who-knows-where.com I'm outta there.
One of the other things that irritates me (and it may just be a local problem) is that loading of a web page will often fail because a script tries to load from a third party - or several third parties - which, for some reason aren't communicating with the main page. Various Google and Ad-server scripts are the main culprits and the only way out is to keep hitting the reload button until the system clears. Or just go somewhere else.
