Just found out Google Chrome got a 'no javascript' option built in in February.. I switched back to Mozilla after I got a virus that made me reformat everything, just from browsing 'unprotected' on Google Chrome [inb4 get a Mac]. Still not 100% sure how it happened.

So how secure is this? I read a few reports saying the basic infrastructure of Chrome doesn't support selective script disablement.. has that changed since? Or is this just a dumbed-down version of NoScript and not as secure? I'd love to be able to use Chrome again, its super fast, but if its not as secure as Mozilla yet I just can't risk it.
