The author makes a good point about paranoia. For normal people who do not visit porn/warez sites, this whole thing about the Net being full of malicious scripts waiting to wreck your PC, IS A MYTH.

In 5 YEARS of using Firefox with Javascript enabled, I have never had one single bad script or alert of one. This despite, visiting many websites each and every day. Where are these scripts that people are so frightened of? My antivirus software (Avast) and security programs that scan at night do not pick up anything.

The only reason that I need YesScript now is because some media sites I use, run at 100% CPU because of poorly coded scripts.
