Yeah, I'm not so sure that is right, but I often referred to JAVA as "Just Another Vulnerability Announcement" .... fortunately now JAVA on the client end is not near as common as it used to be and, if I'm not mistaken, is not even an option with a modern browser. The server side argument doesn't help, it's all the junk and poor programming of the website that is the real problem. Shitty developers of websites, all it takes is one or two poorly coded websites and it can screw up your whole experience. Find the culprit pages / sites if you can and avoid them as much as possible. JavaScript need not be that bad, but the web developers at fault are the ones that SHOULD NOT HAVE jobs! A.
