LOL this reminds me of IE on Windows Server. In order to keep your server secure, they put IE in "Enhanced Security Configuration" mode which breaks the entire web. It cracks me up that the only way IE is secure, is when it's useless. It's basically an admission that IE was not secure enough to run in default mode, when it's only going to be used on a server by someone experienced enough with tech to set up a server. But those regular desktop pelbs, you all can just have insecure IE.
To their credit, the enhanced security configuration does turn off JS and reduces other attack surface significantly. Also, IE has a very useful black/whitelisting feature called Internet Zones (which Edge removed, not surprisingly) so you can allow those features on sites you really do trust.
"breaks the entire web" is really an exaggeration from the Google-propaganda-pushers. You don't all the extra crap like JS when you're just looking at static pages. A lot of sites are fine without. This site doesn't need JS either.
