Warning: if you want to read this text without javascript you have to disable css, otherwise all the content is hidden. So, it has come to that. This is the new web.
- dfrage 8y agoThanks for the tip! I use uMatrix with aggressive defaults including no Javascript, somehow this trick didn't occur to me. Although my general rule is that if Javascript is required to read a site's content, it's probably not worth it. With the storied NoScript being released for Chrome (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19650731 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19650731), I suspect I'll have more and more company as the new web gets more abusive and dangerous.
- enriquto 8y agoI am so in awe at this site! It is the first actual example I have witnessed of non-monotonic progressive enhancement. You start with a text-only browser and the site is OK; so far so good. Then you keep adding features to the browser and the site progressively disappears and re-appears again.
