Comment (by mikeperry):
Jesse Ruderman pointed out that there are actually several JS options we
can disable before entirely disabling javascript:
{{{
javascript.options.ion.content
javascript.options.baselinejit.content
javascript.options.asmjs
javascript.options.typeinference.content
}}}
These should only degrade performance and not functionality. Also, they
have historically had very high vulnerability counts to date, perhaps more
so than all of the rest of JS itself.
