Quote:Google users who have disabled JavaScript in the browsers that they are using to browse the Internet won't be able to sign-in to their Google accounts anymore soon unless they enable JavaScript for the login process.

Google announced yesterday that it will make JavaScript mandatory on sign-in pages and that it will display a "couldn't sign you in" message to users who have it disabled.

Internet users disable JavaScript for a number of reasons and most are well aware of the issues associated with that. A browser extension like NoScript blocks JavaScript execution by default to improve user privacy and security on the Internet.

Scripts don't run without JavaScript which reduces or even eliminates tracking, advertisement and malicious attacks.

Websites may load faster and users may save bandwidth if JavaScript is disabled or blocked in the browser. Some sites, however, will break if JavaScript is disabled as they use scripts for some or even all functionality provided.
