"When you have eliminated the JavaScript, whatever remains must be an empty page." Ah ah! Quite incredibly and sadly spot on.

- gefh 7y agoAre you complaining that Google maps uses JavaScript?
- jraph 7y agoNo, Google Maps is actually a case where JavaScript makes sense. But this message reminded me of many seemingly static pages that are actually blank if you don't enable JavaScript, without even any hint that you should enable JavaScript. Reader mode often works perfectly on these pages. Sometimes, blocking the white element hiding the content of the page works well too. I don't hate JavaScript, I have actually developed several web applications using it, and like it.
- jlarocco 7y agoI'll complain that Firefox isn't supported. Google is the worst.
- tejtm 7y agowe must be using different blockers, I see: Aw snap! Google Earth isn't supported by your browser yet. Try this link in Chrome instead. If you don't have Chrome installed, download it here. Or if you're feeling adventurous, you can preview a cross-browser beta of Earth built on WebAssembly.
- jraph 7y agoI'm using uBlock Origin with JavaScript blocked by default. But your message is what I get on the Google Earth link, even with JavaScript enabled.
- sha666sum 7y agoIt's funny, but whatever remains should actually be html, css and images.
- freeopinion 7y agoexcept for pages where all html and css is generated client-side by javascript.
