How will you even know without looking at the source or blocking JS across the web? Like, sure, if they've fancy animations across all elements from the moment you open the page should be obvious. But what about something like https://rhodey.org/ https://rhodey.org/? It opens instantaneously in my ancient laptop connected to a terrible internet line. Check source. Only a single empty div in body. Everything is rendered with JS.
- superkuh 4y agoI block JS across the web by default. For some sites I'll learn the miminum set of domains to allow for temporary whitelisting. But most aren't worth the effort.
- rwalle 4y agoSure, great for you, but most websites and most developers don't care about use cases like this and always use JS to "enhance" the UI and UX, however you interpret it. They (supposedly) need to achieve basic accessibility but then do whatever they can in the UI. I don't think anyone would care about users who "disabling JS by default", at least now.
