>> Ordinary users do not want to disable JavaScript

But sometimes "ordinary" users do need to disable Javascript. Wouldn't it make more sense to put in a pop-up "Disabling Javascript will potentially break lots of websites. Are you sure? Y/N"

It's perhaps a tempest in a teapot, since these ordinary blokes will simply follow a different set of connect-the-dots instructions they found while searching for "how do I save an image from XYZ website?"
