Is it safe to use JavaScript navigation?

    At this time, Google doesn’t read JavaScript links and doesn’t follow them, so you need to put some alternative text versions of your links if you want your site to be crawled in full. However, Google is smart indeed and it may start reading JavaScript very soon, at least partially.

    Please tell me
    Is it safe to use JavaScript navigation?

    Thanks

    Since you already know that Google doesn't read them why do you still want to put them up?

    I may have to go on youtube to see if theres a current workaround on this javascript issue. Was thinking of using it for this website was making but might change my mind.
