Meltdown & Spectre vulnerabilities and javascript

I ALWAYS browse with javascript off. It is enabled on specific sites thanks to noscript. This is exactly the reason I have all browser side scripting off, dns blackhole, ublock, large hosts file, all set very aggressively. I do find a lot of sites are broken while doing this but its a price to pay.

FYI, this forum doesn’t set off any of my blockers even with scripts being permitted here. Its disgusting out there and I’ve seen “popular” sites loading all kinds of 3rd party scripts of dubious origins. When your site is loading scripts from 20-30 different domains, you have problems.
