Reuters.com no longer works with JavaScript disabled
It used to show a page with wrong-sized images, but at least you could read the headlines and click into the articles.
Now it just has the text "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker"
- rkagerer 1y agoPlease feel free to share links to any decent news sites still out there with global coverage, that aren't too biased, and let you browse without JavaScript.
- bell-cot 1y agoIt still works kinda-okay-ish for me. Perhaps because I'm using Privacy Badger to block cookies? (Using FF, NoScript, and a US internet connection, FWIW.)
- namegulf 1y agoMost paywalled sites are going JS heavy lately and only showing partial content. Looks like they want only subscribers read full article.

- raw_anon_1111 1y agoI can’t understand why people expect websites to work in 2025 without JavaScript. It’s been a standard part of web browsers for 25 years
- leros 1y agoI don't personally see much audience for non-JS websites other than headless web crawler. It's good for SEO but otherwise why bother? I actually intentionally put some content behind JavaScript because AI crawlers see enough of the page to reference it as a source but not enough of the answer to provide the answer without linking to my site. I get decent traffic from AI bots as a result.
- more_corn 1y agoLet’s create a browser that just loads archive links or all pages if available. I’m sick of cookie pop ups, terms of service popups, ads. I’m sorely tempted to quit the internet altogether.
