What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a programming language that allows you to create interactive websites and apps. This guide will show you how to enable JavaScript on your Mac so that you can use it to improve your browsing experience.
JavaScript is a scripting language that enables you to create dynamic web pages. It can be used to add special effects, such as animated graphics, audio and video playback, and interactive forms. JavaScript can also be used to create web applications, such as games and productivity tools.

How to enable JavaScript on Other Browsers
In order to use JavaScript on another browser, you will need to download a couple of different software programs. The first program is called a “JavaScript engine” and the second program is called a “JavaScript interpreter.”
The JavaScript engine is responsible for taking the JavaScript code and translating it into something that the computer can understand. The JavaScript interpreter is responsible for running the JavaScript code.
You can get these software programs from the internet. There are many different ones available, but we recommend using Google’s V8 JavaScript engine and the SpiderMonkey JavaScript interpreter.
Once you have downloaded these programs, you will need to install them on your computer. Once they are installed, you will need to configure your browser to use them.
