Speed up Safari page load times by disabling JavaScript
Authored by: nickfitz on Oct 14, '03 10:26:15AM

I think it's fairer to say that JavaScript has been used to exploit certain Windows security vulnerabilities, which aren't relevant to OS X. Furthermore, such exploits are predominantly related to Outlook Express and scripts in HTML email (although Internet Explorer has some unpatched vulnerabilities).

Unless you're running Netscape 3/IE for Windows, you don't really have to worry about JavaScript from a security perspective. A lot of so-called vulnerabilities are actually spoofs dreamed up by idiots to confuse the unwary. Real vulnerabilities are unlikely to work on Safari anyway. They normally only affect one version of one browser, and it tends to be IE.
