I tried to live with javascript disabled by default but gave up after two months because all I did was white-listing every page I opened. Gave up on my own side projects too. Building something that works with and without javascript is just to much work for me and it becomes ugly quickly. I still think modern websites over use javascript too often and should use markup over code whenever possible. And of course no one wants to go back to iframes to load dynamic content. Or should we?
