How else would I know e.g. you can't collapse comments without JS enabled on HN or that you eventually get a more usable experience after investing the time unless I've already tried such operation in the browser before? It's worth at least thinking through what I've said before trying to call it out as blindly ignorant. Not that either way really steers the discussion towards the points made anyways.
Also if you just whitelist every site the instant they don't work it's not exactly a security gain. Maybe it helps with ads UBO isn't catching out of the box or some other angle though. The amount of security you gain from this is proportional to the amount of effort you're willing to invest in making sites work. As an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40069834 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40069834 site works fine without one day, then suddenly doesn't so you whitelist or futz around until you find something like the /embed trick, until that either changes some day too or you've given up and just whitelisted every site you go to anyways.
- 1oooqooq 3y agothe point is it makes enabling js slightly just a click more annoying, which force you to unconsciously use sites that work fine without. you seen to spend time here, so you'd pay the security price and that's it. not having js on by default is for the 95pct of domains you hit everyday to read a single paragraph and never return.
