If you turn off javascript, most sites become at best read-only. A good chunk don't work at all or partially break in ways that make the site unusable even for viewing (e.g. flickr).
I'm trying to think of sites of that degrade nicely. I can only really think of HN and gmail.
- mike-cardwell 13y ago"If you turn off javascript, most sites become at best read-only" No. That is not the case. People keep saying this, but it is false.
- jessaustin 13y agoDo you have some other counterexamples?
- mike-cardwell 13y agoI don't need to show any counter examples. I'm not the one that is saying that most websites don't work without javascript. Show me some evidence that greater than 50% of websites are broken when JavaScript is disabled, and I'll listen. No such evidence will be provided though, because it's a ludicrous claim. FWIW: I've been using NoScript for years, and it's clear to me that the vast vast majority of sites work fine with JS disabled. Most of them work better with JS disabled than with it enabled.
- jessaustin 13y agoOK, easy fella. I was just asking. I don't use NoScript, so I wouldn't say one way or the other.
