Comment:

 I really don't think this needs an //Immediate// priority. You can
 mitigate this entirely by disabling JavaScript, and there are so many
 other issues which are far worse that do not have such a priority.
 Immediate is used for something that actually requires immediate
 attention.

 FWIW, I really don't think it's possible to defend against this and still
 have JavaScript enabled without breaking the internet. Just turn off JS if
 you want to mitigate this in its entirety.
