- gherkinnn 3y agoJS is available in the browser unless someone knowingly disables it. It is a standard.
- chrismorgan 3y agoJS will fail to execute a lot more often than most people realise, e.g. due to poor network conditions, particularly if hosted on a different origin (first-party JS is far more reliable, and inline JS the most reliable).
- pier25 3y ago> e.g. due to poor network conditions Do you have any metrics on this? Seems like an extremely rare edge case. Anecdotally, I haven't experienced it in years.
- o11c 3y agoThe (semi-old) UK stats said 1.1% failure rate, but somebody more recent said it had increased to 3%. That's a lot.
- gherkinnn 3y agoSomebody said is a bad source. 3% failure seems too high given nearly everything requires JS.
- thewakalix 3y ago"Everything requires this" does not mean "this is always available"!
