Definitely not. That led to the creation of Firefox extensions like 
NoScript. NoScript is one of the most popular extensions, along Adblock 
and (like I just found out) Video DownloadHelper to download videos from

additional features are. They get obsessed over what is possible, and do 
stuff because they can. They should learn why there's this proverb "less
