Yo listen up here’s a story
About a little girl that lives in a furry world
And all day and all night and everything she sees
Is just furry like her inside and outside

    I don’t understand how people can get by with disabling JS? Like aren’t 90% of modern website just straight up useless without it?

      Honestly, if a site breaks and I have to click to either enable JS or close the tab, many times I just realize I didn’t really care enough and close the tab.

      It’s fine 50% of the time & when it isn’t you can just whitelist a site if you care enough to use it.

      Small price to pay for a quick and no nonsense Internet experience.

      I decided to give it a try and was surprised to see more sites working without js than I expected. Most that work do so partially, but enough to be usable. I started going without js after testing and seeing how blazing fast my devices load the pages, and how lightweight everything becomes, so I played a bit by disabling js by default and whitelisting the things that didn’t.

      Another benefit is having no popups, no cookie banners, no ads, nothing appearing out of nowhere in your face, no content changing place, no bullshit

      It’s kind of a good natural filter for my browsing addiction lmao. Sites that work fine are probably places I will like more. Gives 2000s web vibes.

      You don’t have to entirely disable JavaScript, you can just block it by default until you decide to whitelist or grant temporary access to specific sites using something like NoScript
