Which browser is this?

NoScript pioneered the solution to this problem for Firefox, allowing global JS 
blocking with per-site exceptions.  The popularity of this plugin prompted 
Mozilla to remove the “disable JS” checkbox from its prefs GUI entirely.

Chrome, the most popular browser in the world at the moment, has a similar 
facility built-in.

IE can also do it, via its Zones feature.

JavaScript Blocker is essentially NoScript for Safari.

NotScripts does it for Opera.

That covers 99.mumble% of the web client world.

I’m assuming desktop use here, but mobile clients generally don’t have to worry 
about JS as a security risk to begin with, since all the major mobile OSes are 
sandboxed to a fare-thee-well.

Are we talking about the digital equivalent of cinderblock walls topped with 
razor wire, dog patrols, armed guards, and helicopters?  Some people are simply 
constitutionally insecure.  Fossil can’t fix that.
