honestly disgusting behaviour IMO, everyone should use noscript or ublock origin to turn off all js by default. Even though it's a hassle it gets easier once you've established your allow/deny list for frequent sites over time. First time visits remain a bear though since sometimes you have to do a bunch of guesswork to determine which js bits are required for a given site to work
- userbinator 6y agosometimes you have to do a bunch of guesswork to determine which js bits are required for a given site to work I've been browsing with off-by-default JS basically since JS was invented, and my list of trusted sites has remained very small (around a dozen) --- the majority of sites I come across on searches that ask me to enable it will simply cause me to go somewhere else. The rare occasion that I can't find the information elsewhere, I will view source and sometimes it's sitting there, or even RE the API, but actually getting me to enable JS is close to a "never", as it's reserved for the very few sites I have far more trust in, e.g. my bank. Once --- and only once --- I was enticed by a site that doesn't need it to "enable JS for a better experience", and immediately disabled it again when I was bombarded with ads and other distracting, irritating shit (selecting text causes a popup, elements animating around while I'm trying to focus, etc.)
