MOZILLA, FUCK YOU TO HELL YOU GODDAMN BLOODY RETARDED CUNTS!!!
Apparently this unimaginably stupid idea came from the rotting cranium of this brain-damaged idiot:

FUCK YOUR MOTHER'S FESTERING CUNT, RETARDED SON-OF-A-BITCH BLOODY DIPSHIT!!!
...Sorry, I just had to vent. This is exactly the sort of propaganda that turns users into sheeple, and it's all done under the thin pretense of "simplicity", "reducing clutter", and other mindless buzzwords. "You're not allowed to control your browser, because you could choose wrong. Let us force upon you what we think is right: websites full of mind-numbing attention-distracting flashy bullshit that you can't turn off." What's next to go, using the same retarded argument? "No popup blocking, because it can break websites?" "No external proxy, because it can break websites?" "No plugins/extensions, because it can break websites?"
As I say, "better you break a website than it break you":

IEx : very configurable per-zone security settings included by default
Opera 9x : per-site + instant menu option to enable/disable
Previous Firefox : global JS on/off only by default
Current Firefox : advanced about:config JS on/off
Future Firefox : unconditionally enabled JS, compile-time option to disable
Very Future Firefox : you'll have to edit a few hundred source files to get it disabled
The description on the Firefox site is very ironic (emphasis mine):
Mozilla Firefox, free web browser, is created by a global non-profit dedicated to putting individuals in control...
With Firefox now becoming unconfigurable, Chrome out of the question, and even IE slowly taking this route, is there any browser now that is designed with
user choice in mind? Haven't looked at newer Opera but the earlier versions were pretty good...
