 JavaScript a security risk? - No FM2R
>>Is JavaScript in fact widely seen as risky?

Well, it can be exploited so the risk is there, but I don't think it's that big a risk. The risk is that something can be downloaded and executed on your computer which may do something you don't want it to do.

I have it enabled because a couple of sites I use break if I do not.

You can always turn it on, use the site, and then turn it off again.
