Your preferences are your business, but just because you don't run javascript doesn't mean a site is broken. It means you have a default setting that is in conflict with the current state, and direction of the web.
If I do:
csh> lynx www.facebook.com [et al.]
it really doens't mean facebook is broken.
That's my point - you're mixing up your personal preferences (paranoia) with the condition of a web site and they are not the same thing.
Fortunately many others are willing to move with the times, otherwise we'd all be still running gopher://news.ycombinator.com
- bayareaguy 17y agoIf your site requires JS, not bothering to tell people just shows how much you (don't) care about your users. It's interesting you bring up facebook. I'm not a facebook user, but on I whim I just went there and what's the first thing they told me: Sign Up It's free and anyone can join Javascript is disabled on your browser. Please enable JavaScript on your browser or upgrade to a Javascript-capable browser to register for Facebook. That tells me that the people at FB care enough about my time and theirs to tell me their requirements before I use the site.
