Then consider for a moment your statement that "javascripts are indeed invasive and a great threat to privacy, needs to be raised. Most users are unaware of this threat" in relationship to how long javascript has been in use and how widely it is used as well as your current level of familiarity with javascript. If javascript is as great a threat as you seem to think, then wouldn't you think there would be a concerted effort to fix the problem? Don't you think that by now people with much more experience would be raising the alarms? FWIW, I've found that one of the biggest mistakes I've made in the past is to come to conclusions based on observations when I was ignorant of the underlying theory/principles/subject.
