Ideally yes, but that horse left the barn years ago. The browser becomes more capable, chalk full of more APIs over time, not less.

The more capable the browser gets the more people will turn off these capabilities. I love JS and the web, yet I have JS off by default! Mostly because it gets rid of a lot of crap, but I also don't trust every single web site I visit.
