    I went to a Microsoft site to fill out a form to register for a 2 two conference. My CPU shot up to 100 percent. The task manager (in the browser) told me that this was using a huge amount of computer for a ton of javascript running on a page that didn’t need any at all.

    It is very abused for analytics, little is used to make a page “nice” anymore.

      Just because people use JavaScript for bad things doesn’t mean it’s not also necessary for the other things though
