I'm sure you can find many more experts offering similar advice.
It's mainly those with some interest in javascript, like browser makers and hipster website developers who, are "way beyond this", not the tech world.
I'd love it if we shared good practice and encourage people to install things like noscript.net.
On my (CyanogenMod10 and f-droid) phone, I have two browsers: one with javascript that I use for a few web apps that don't work without it (including one of the telco ones, annoyingly!); plus one with scripts switched off. That's worth it, isn't it?
