I have to reply here to this post.
From web pages perspective almost yes but not from the user's perspective as I pointed out above. As for the web page, it will try to bomb you with its scripts if you are blocking while it will notice immediately if you have JS disabled and maybe even redirect you to its scriptless flavor.Moonchild wrote:Blocking content JavaScript and disabling JavaScript effectively achieve the same from a web page's perspective: it won't run.
I could give you also an example with a site misbehaving with blocked scripting while it works fine with disabled JS.
No need to tell you the reason for the above behavior since you probably know better.
Each to his own.Moonchild wrote: Blocking would be the better option because it actually prevents the download, and can be applied in a fine-grained and per-site manner. Disabling JavaScript for content does neither.
What is the option to turn off JavaScript (globally) good for anyway?
However, nice to learn from you the basics.
BTW,
Should Users be Permitted to Disable JavaScript?
