I apologize for having the wrong ideas or phrasing them poorly. I will make
sure to look up more reliable information in the future and not trust Reddit,
before requesting feature requests. I appreciate your constructive criticisms,
Albert. The reason why I thought about disabling JavaScript was this website:
https://gnupg.com/gnupg-desktop.html#okular. They said they disable scripting
in Okular to harden it. I trust GnuPG. After researching and reading some
Reddit posts I thought disabling scripting might make me more secure as I don't
deal with JS but I certainly deal with hundreds of PDFs monthly, many of which
come from untrustworthy sources. Thank you for your understanding. This bug
report may remain open if anyone has any constructive argument to support this
feature, otherwise it may be closed.
