As it seems hundreds of thousands of websites are getting
infested with javascript based exploits from China.

As many trusted sites, even United Nations (un.org) and the UK government(.gov.uk) are said to be affected, not even NoScript can provide security, because
the whitelisted sites may also be infected.
I use javascript rarely, but as it is sometimes necessary, for example
to watch youtube videos, I think that a workaround macro to watch
these videos without turning on javascript would be welcome.
The site kissyoutube.com makes that possible. Youtube videos are
played there without javascript, and a relocation is useful.
The videos can then also be downloaded there, if requested.
Close the browser.
In notepad create a .kmm file containing :
watchyoutube{
opennew("
http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?url=";. $LinkURL)
}
and save it as watchyoutube.kmm inside the folder "macros"
within the K-Meleon main folder (not as .txt).
Then open from /default/settings the file menus.cfg and search
for the line LinkPopup{
Beyond that enter the line
macros(watchyoutube, watchyoutube)
and save the file as menu.cfg to its origin (not as .txt).
After a browser restart the link right click menu
should contain an entry "watchyoutube".
An other possibility is to copy the link and paste it
into the address bar. Change then the address from
for example
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSdeDJUxF-0
(copy and watch the link in notepad or in the address bar)
(last part depends on the selected video)
to
http://www.youtube.com/v/TSdeDJUxF-0
(copy and watch the link in notepad or in the address bar)
and hit enter.
The video will play without javascript.
