Opera && javascript turned off == I don't care about this "web" thing. So, I, for one, don't exactly care about what happened in your tin-foil crazy edge case.

- white_devil 15y agoWow.. Wasn't expecting that kind of response.
- dextorious 15y agoTo be frank, I also expected to mainly get downvotes from my spur of the moment response. But the gist of what I was trying to convey is: It's 2011. The web is inherently tied with javascript. (The "progressive enhancement" thing in respect to lack of javascript doesn't hold after Ajax and the so-called "Web 2.0", ie since 2005). Turning js off AND using a left-field browser, is probably pushing it too far, and you don't really get to complain about broken functionality after that.
- white_devil 15y agoLook, I'm not counting on web developers providing me with a site that's fully functional without JavaScript. That would be stupid. I have no trouble enabling JavaScript for specific sites that need it. Opera is a great browser and has good support for HTML5 and CSS3. In fact, since I refuse to live without snappy Mouse Gestures, I don't even really have a choice in my primary browser. Also, redirecting a browser somewhere without using JavaScript (since it was disabled) should be a reasonably simple operation. And finally.. Tinfoil? All in all, there was absolutely no reason for that personal attack of yours. So yeah, try to behave.
- dextorious 15y agoWell, re: tinfoil, you'll have to admit that turning js off is a little on the tinfoil side... What's the supposed benefit of breaking 80% of the modern web? Using lower resources? Sites not "tracking" you with cookies? Better security?
