Public bug reported:
There seems to be no obvious way to block javascript. Some pages, such
as http://www.lemonde.fr are almost unusable due to the sheer number of
garbage scripts running on there.
> lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04
> apt-cache policy webbrowser-app
webbrowser-app:
Installed: 0.23+15.04.20151103-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.23+15.04.20151103-0ubuntu1

What I expect to happen
- Scripts should not run without my permission. Either prompt for them, or give
me access to a configuration screen where I can enable/disable them, or at
least a gsettings config setting
What happened instead
- Scripts run, popping up windows before content I'm reading, and slowing down
the phone (noticeable lag while scrolling through a lemonde.fr article) due to
their inefficient implementation
