That's actually a really good point. I hadn't thought of that. I just wonder which parts would be broken? The good parts or the bad parts? I don't have a problem with advertising per se - in fact, I'm pretty much in favour of it. It does fund a heck of a lot of useful, good stuff. I just struggle with the 'in your face' kind of advertising. JavaScript, for some reason, lends itself to that.
- jqpabc123 5y agoI just wonder which parts would be broken? Both parts --- all parts. Most web sites depend on Javascript in some way. The "bad" kind of advertising is the personalized, algorithm driven kind built around privacy invasion. If you go to a pet supply site, an ad for dog food is reasonable, perhaps even appreciated. This is the "good", informative kind of advertising. But just because you bought dog food, you shouldn't be bombarded with ads for cat litter on a site that deals with cell phones. This is mainly just an annoyance, the private data behind it is subject to abuse and there no good reason to believe this "bad" advertising is any more effective than the "good" advertising. But the "bad" ads are more profitable for the ad networks. My advice --- check out the Brave browser. It offers a simple, easy way to block most of the bad and replace it with good advertising --- no global tracking or privacy invasion required. And unfriend Facebook and say goodbye to all things Google.
