I do like to run software on my computer :)

But I prefer to run software that I installed or otherwise chose to
trust. I prefer not to run whatever some unknown person wants to throw
at me. I find most uses of Javascript are completely unnecessary. It
seems to be a 'me-too' fashion among presumably bored web designers.

Which google search are you running? It could be that different searches
and/or particular hosts in their cloud may be running different
software. I get traditional behaviour when I run linux searches.

Cheers, Dave
