The Navigator taintEnabled() method was best avoided in JavaScript version 1.2, and has been deprecated since then to prevent run-time errors in the future. Data Tainting was a security feature to destroy or remove the highly infectious data used by JavaScript 1.2. It has been completely discarded by now; this method only available for maintaining compatibility with very old scripts with imited browser support. It returns a Boolean value that shows whether the browser has data tainting method enabled.
The NavigatorID.taintEnabled() method would always returns Boolean false value.
Syntax:
window.navigator.taintEnabled()Return Value: It returns a Boolean value, specifying whether the browser has data tainting feature enabled.
Example:
It would return true if data tainting is supported and enabled, and it returns false if the feature is disabled.
