No, he's not. I used to browse with Javascript turned off. I
don't any more for various reasons, not least of which is that, being
a Mac user, I'm not vulnerable to the vast majority of Javascript
hacks. I also browse without a Flash plug-in on my primary Mac
browser. And I know of at least one person (who shall remain
nameless) subscribed to this list who thinks scripting should never
have been invented in the first place.
The Web is as wide and varied as the people in the world. There
is no such thing as a "standard user." If there is a wacky
configuration possible, someone out there is using it.
