It seems that famous names are critical of Google requiring JavaScript for search "because security."

I'm afraid that all guilt and finger pointing should be directly at the real criminals here, the literal ones, the malicious counterparties.

If you put on your black hat and say "what if I was a bad guy," there are so many ways you could hijack a few users off a web page, redirect them to some ill purpose, and never be seen.

So you know. What's your priority?

Is it more important that Google not know you are shopping for socks?

Or is it more important that your grandmother not have her retirement funds gutted?
