Why?

I mean why do you need to execute any untrusted code from a website? You
don't execute
a book, put information in digital form and the advantage is you can easily
search gobs of data quickly to find the specific pieces you want. I don't
understand the need to be able to execute code as the biggest use by far
for that is for these stupid ads.
