     Coders do this so you can't "steal" their code, or maybe
     sometimes to get slight compression (all the variables get
     renamed to one or two letter names, etc) So, you can still
     look at it, but it's often only nearly as opaque as byte code :)

   Thats where crowdsourced blockers come into the picture. NoScript for
   instance. You

   have dozens of folks unobfuscating the scripts. Ofc you have to have
   some trust in the blocker, and the site's intention for the data
   gleaned,

   Yeah, noscript is cool. Been a while since I’ve really played with it.

   and if you're really paranoid perhaps find some other hobby than the
   internet rather than spewing paranoia all over everyone like digital
   diarrhea. The internet isn't Safe Space... never was. Never will be.

   Yeah, clearly you have to make a few risk value judgements,
   otherwise you may as well just stay in the default most secure
   position:
   computer powered off ;)
