HTML is what makes the majority of the web work, with additional functionality (optionally) provided by scripts. When I see a blank page I wouldn't call that 'not working correctly' I would call it 'not working at all'.

Maybe we agree to disagree now, and you go on blindly trusting all websites to execute random code on your machine. I am perfectly content to have new websites look a little funny the first time I visit.

"HTML is what makes the majority of the web work" - Yes, ten years ago.

The modern internet is javascript. The code is executing in a secure sandbox. If you can get it to do something random on your machine make sure to let Google know, they'll send you a pretty big check.

It's not just doing something funny with the machines, it's also doing funny stuff with other websites. Plenty of websites are still vulnerable to XSS and CSRF.
