If the owner is here: with javascript disabled the code is unreadable.
- Waterluvian 10y agoI'm curious, what would you say the % of sites you visit is where they're still useful without JS?
- majewsky 10y agoThat question is not very useful the way it's written down. Some sites legimitately require JS (everything in the "web apps" territory; just try to imagine Grafana without JS), so I would ignore these (which I hope is in line with your intentions). Of the sites that are mostly static content, I would estimate around 60%. There's a small chunk of sites that are just blank with JS disabled, and there's a larger chunk that will load images only when JS is enabled.
- Waterluvian 10y agoYeah that was a poorly worded question, sorry. I'm interested in how far one can get without JavaScript on today's Internet. But it sounds like you don't disable it fully, just only on untrusted sites? 60% is better than I'd expect for sites you expect to work without JS. =)
- majewsky 10y agoI use uMatrix and enable first-party JS by default. That allows me to get by on most sites. Sometimes I have to enable additional domains, mostly: - ajax.googleapis.com and the like - somethingsomething.cloudfront.com - variations of the same domain (for example, hn.algolia.com queries algolia.net and algolianet.com) By the way, it's a very valid question whether my model is actually more secure than just uBlock, but I like it on an emotional level because I feel in control.
