This website is an excellent example why I browse the web with JS off by default these days. When I turned it on, an obnoxious icon appeared, refusing to go away. When I hovered on it, another box appeared with an x in the corner. I moved the mouse to close it, and the box disappeared. The obnoxious icon, however, stays as before.
I'm really glad we are still able to turn JavaScript off these days. I'm pretty sure in the next years more and more so-called "developers" switch to text rendering by JS, rendering more websites unusable.
- petters 6y agoWhy did you turn it on? For testing?
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoYes, I sometimes turn it on to see what I "lose" by having it switched off by default.

- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoOf course, but it hasn't become the norm yet. I'm afraid this day will eventually arrive as most user-hostile techniques depends on JS being on, so they need to find a way to force it on users.
