How in tarnation do you explain this:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=googleusercontent.com

That site doesn't say anything about Java or Javascript. Or cookies for that matter. You're connecting unrelated things.

There are flaws in software. It's probably safe to say "all software" since we can't really prove otherwise. Browsers are software. Software flaws in browsers may be used to cause the download and execution of malware. That is not, however, an indication that Java or Javascript "allow" access to the filesystem or cookies. They do not. At least, not any more than images do. Several browser bugs have allowed code execution as a result of malformed images. Do you also disable image rendering in your browser? The justification for both is the same: bugs might allow arbitrary execution of code.

Malware is installed where it can be executed.
Since that is the case, what makes you think JS cannot
access your browsing history??

You're connecting unrelated things.
