How to enable Javascript in your browser easily.


In this tutorial, you'll learn how to enable JavaScript in your browser.


What's JavaScript ? Why is it useful ?

JavaScript is a programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification.

JavaScript is high-level, often just-in-time compiled and multi-paradigm. It has dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation and first-class functions.

Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web. Over 97% of websites use it client-side for web page behavior, often incorporating third-party libraries. All major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute the code on the user's device.

With JavaScript disabled, your browser will be unable to run or show interactive elements like display ads, animations or audio, and it can't run the "table of contents" button on this page and the Disqus's discussion section that is present on this website, hence that's why JavaScipt is really useful. In addition, JavaScript is pretty easy to activate in your browser.

And that's why, in this tutorial, I'll show you how to enable it in the eight of the most commonly used browsers, to ensure that your browser can run the interactive elements of the website.
