Heck, I generally use Netscape 2.02, so it can't even *handle* Java. And
yes, turning off JS does get rid of lots of annoying things. (And turning
off autoload images not only speeds things up, but also avoids the constant
disk abuse caused by continually reloading GIF animations -- which are much
like hitting the gas and the brakes at the same time... gives your tires a
good workout but doesn't really get you anywhere.)
(As for home pages... I have my "home" page set to
<
http://www.sinasohn.com/>, but have it set not to autoload it at start-up
-- I know what it says, and I already think I'm great, so I don't need
constant reminders. But it is available one click away for them what needs
convincing of my amazingness.)
