We exist! Speaking for myself, it's a speed and privacy thing.

Generally I'm not going to enable JS just to use your blog, especially as doing so usually allows a tonne of tracking scripts to run.
Also there is something extremely backwards about forcing every user to translate your content rather than you doing this and serving it statically. Think about the collective energy wastage if every website did this.
- speedgoose 6y agoYes I know you do. I also disable JavaScript by default on my mobile. But we are on Hacker News, we don't represent the average user.
- bArray 6y agoWell, also remember that a tonne of internet is using a very low-bandwidth connection (sometimes much less than dial-up speeds). I imagine that without no-script installed a bunch of the web simply can't be used.
