I don't think it was presented well, but I think it's important for vapers to have some of that info on flavors, without trying to scare people. There was only a weak attempt at putting it in perspective.
What's the problem with Java Scripts?More Junk..............we still don't know etc etc. They do mention Dr Farsalinos, though only the bad bits
There is a comments section but they run Java Scripts so I'm not going there.
It is extremely important that they put it in context. They did a very poor job of that. Thereby, the article does more harm than good, and misinforms more than it informs.
I've encountered those sleazy websites that run browser-grabbing ads. Certain people of my acquaintance seem to love posting links to them, and those people seem to get viruses on a regular basis. I try to just avoid those websites, and if I hit one anyway, I just deal with it by exiting. I think disabling java would cause more aggravation than it avoids. Anyway, I visit Wapo every day and have had no problems there.Javascript can be quite dangerous because it allows control of all settings inside the browser. A simple example is seen on many web sites that disable your back button as soon as you arrive at the site -- trapping you on their site. You have to actually close your browser to get out. Very annoying. But more dangerous is the fact that they can change ANY setting in your browser -- not just the back button. So javascript apps can actually turn off your security settings in your browser, and then let all types of malicious software in from that (or other) web sites. I recommend keeping javascript off for safety, except for sites that you trust and really require it to run. Ditto for activeX and most of all, Flash
The best way to find out yourself is to run an extension in firefox called NoScripts.............you can turn it off and on so it is not a problem in itself. You will be amazed at who is trying to access your computer.
