An extension probably cannot change this, what it would need would be a
thorough security review of the affected code. It's not about wanting or
not wanting it, it's about being able to guarantee security. This seems
to be a concept that a number of people here don't seem to grasp anyhow,
or intentionally neglect.
The concept missed is that's its OUR computer. No one is asking you to guarantee
security or anything else, we just want the option of JS on a per-newsgroup or
rss feed basis. I agree it should be turned off, I'm comfortable that the option
to turn it on have all sorts of warnings, but you sound like a mix of Microsodft
and a smothering mother, saying that you know whats best. It's one thing to to
leave a feature out because it isn't in TB or FF, but to take away user choice
is a different thing.
No JS as a global option is a prudent choice, no way to turn it on in trusted
environments is removal of a feature some of us find useful. People who ignore
the warning and want it on either know what they are doing, or should be allowed
to take themselves out of the gene pool.
