Google Chrome and Java Script!

[The Howling Wolves]

After reading about Java Script with all the holes in it I found this in Google Chrome.

I have been wanting to get rid of My Start search tab after booting up and signing in to my desktop.
Found no easy way to do this so I went looking in GC settings and found this under settings/Privacy where the radio button was on for Java Script.
I removed the button and went to Revo- Unistaller and uninstalled GC with the idea of re- installing GC to see if that got rid of My Start.
Spent hours trying to download and re-install GC and had immediate problems when install failed to work. Even AT&T couldn't online access my computer to assist me with this problem.
Had to go to IE just to access the web where certain sites would not open.

Ended up copying GC on a thumbdrive off my laptop and installing it on my desktop.
Everything works again and did get rid of My Start Search tab but thought I would share this with everyone about the Java Script in GC.

Holes in JavaScript or do you mean Java? Because there is a difference, although I'm thinking you mean Java.. There's been lots of notifications/articles/reports about Java flaws, (with version 7 I believe?) but I don't think you mean JavaScript here...

Java has lots of security flaws, but it is not the same as JavaScript. There's also a feature to turn off JavaScript in Firefox and IE I believe, which isn't a bad thing. Certain sites (from programmers that do not know what they are doing), have certain flaws that give way to XSS cross site scripting attacks. And this is basically the same as you being your own girl guide for your own "cookies", and sending them to someone else, but for free... Simple to avoid, but yet so many sites still don't know what to do to protect against it.
