Web Browsers with Javascript?

[Janina Sajka]

Steve:

I am not aware of any js support available to us. Perhaps Mozilla 6, when 
we finally get access to GNOME. You are correct that it is becoming very 
difficult to use the web without js.

On the other hand, do we really want to allow js into our machines? Are we 
really willing to let any old web site execute code on our machines? Isn't 
js a security vulnerability waiting to happen? I rather think someone will 
devise some kind of virus delivered via js before two many more years go 
by. What then? Will the press run stories like "How come they didn't tell 
us?"
