Honestly, such notices are shockingly unusual - most of the time (at least for the sites I encounter) they don't bother with <noscript>, you just get a broken and/or blank page.
I mostly use the web for reading blogs and articles, so the loss of dynamic sites isn't troublesome, but it's certainly not for most users.
(Edit: Some numerical context I have enabled Javascript for 194 sites over the last five years, whereas I encounter several new sites daily.)
- vbsteven 7y agoI also browse with noscript all the time and I get them quite often. Mostly on product landing pages and Show HN demos.
- larkeith 7y agoHmm, I wonder if it's confirmation bias on my end, or just a difference in what pages we each view.
- npsimons 7y ago> Hmm, I wonder if it's confirmation bias on my end, or just a difference in what pages we each view. Yes. Joking aside, I will add that I've been a NoScript/FlashBlock user for quite some time (more than a decade? I honestly can't remember), and while I run into some things that are frustrating (just had to disable NoScript for a tab to order plane tickets), it is refreshingly uncommon. Yes, you can browse with default deny to JS and Flash.
