Who'd have thought running arbitrary code from random websites was a bad idea?

Blocking all scripts (at least by default) is the only solution.

True. The problem is that websites like Walgreen, which simply break with no JS, are only getting more common. I'd like to make a point of simply closing the tab in such cases, but it's not always possible.
