Well, I know I can turn off Javascript from firefox, it is
easy. Tools->Options->Content->uncheck Javascript.

The point is, browsing the internet is almost useless when
JavaScript is off. How will you browse Yahoo, Google, etc..
with no JavaScript? Many things do not work any more. Some do yes,
but many things needs JavaScript to work.

It feels like driving a car with no wheels attached to it. Not
a fun thing to do.
