- Lots of Google products don't work
- Wikipedia looks the same
- GitHub works pretty well, including lots of functionality I thought was JS only
- Amazon seems to work just fine
- Hamcha 6y agoI was personally amazed by Amazon. Sadly it seems the websites that work best without JavaScript are those where I really don't feel like it's a hindrance to begin with.
- phone8675309 6y agoAmazon is set up to make money when you spend money, not just by tracking you, so of course they would make their platform work without Javascript because you want to maximize the number of browsers people can use to impulse/drunk/Ambien order tons of useless shit from your site.
- crubier 6y agoSounds a bit tautological doesn’t it? Of course a site that uses a lot of JS will not work well if you disable JS
