> Edit: The example blog also loads js, despite the "no javascript" claim. Like: <script src="https://cdn.usefathom.com/script.js https://cdn.usefathom.com/script.js" data-site="WKWMFTPV" defer></script>. Perhaps that's not a default thing, but it seems odd to link to an example blog that doesn't match the sales pitch.
Seems like this is loading Fathom analytics: https://usefathom.com/ https://usefathom.com/
Probably safe to turn off, as uBlock Origins and other ad blocking solutions would, depending on your settings. So I guess in a way the site itself works just fine without JS enabled and doesn't require it, but the authors have chosen to add analytics to see who uses their site, then.
- HermanMartinus 4y agoBear Blog users can optionally add Fathom as an analytics tool. It's a fair criticism that this adds JS, but Fathom is arguably the best choice for analytics (maybe Plausible as well).
