Peter,
It has nothing to do with trusting any particular site. I normally surf
with JS off. It's a hassle to have to constantly turn it on for one
page then turn it off again. So when I get to a site which requires
javascript, unless there's a very good reason why I should continue, I
just move on.
There are generally a lot of other sites which don't require javascript
but can fulfill my needs at the time.
