> and Apple more recently killed the javascript: URL scheme in the address bar

wait, WHAT? This isn't good! This raises the barrier of entry for new programmers to play with Javascript! I had no idea this was done!

And for those of us who use Bookmarklets - it has made Safari a non-choice of browser.

Just enable `Develop > Allow JavaScript from Smart Search Field` in the menubar.

Bookmarklets still work for me (and as andrethegiant said, you can re-enable it in the Develop menu)

So what is the point of trashing the Javascript URI? People with malicious intent will just have the person make the code into a bookmarklet and run it. Which is actually easier than explaining how the URL bar works.

Or does it do what Chrome does and you can't copy/paste Javascript: until the URL bar you have to type "Javascript:"?

All they need to do is open the developer console, which is probably better anyway.
