- chrismorgan 5y agoThis changes from time to time, of course, but when last I investigated, around two years ago, consensus was that it mostly wouldn’t do JavaScript until you nudged it into doing so in some way that I forget, and that it was always slower to index/update if it needed to do JavaScript. (For my part, I disable JavaScript by default for various reasons, mostly performance, and it’s decidedly uncommon for a general-internet site to be completely broken by it. Sites that get posted on HN are disproportionately JS-dependent, especially if they’re new.)
