Give me a break. You guys act like it's a fucking affront to your
religion to have to use Flash or Youtube.
Sorry for complaining about the necessity to be forced to install an

It's unnecessary, annoying, slower, and adds security holes.
When using Firefox, I usually use NoScript to block all scripts by
default. Sometimes, some minor things don't work, and I have to enable
JS. Now it's really rare to see

I'm starting to get the impression that you just have a _really slow

talking about with text input lag. I have never experienced that.

Definitely. It's also useful for blocking other obnoxious stuff like
emoticons or avatars in those phpBB forums.

Firefox. But I often use Konqueror for serious work (!= entertainment,
wasting time). With Konqueror, some sites become dead slow with Java

My only concern with NoScript is, enabling a site reloads all tabs
containing a script from that site. Oh, and by default, it shows some sort
of GUI animation when loading a site with blocked scripts. But you can
disable it.
As you can disable the reloading ;)
