Twice in the last five minutes my @privacybrowser has run into websites displaying a banner "This site works best with #Javascript enabled." Of course, the sites didn't work AT ALL with Javascript deactivated.

Ironically, one site had been redone by a firm specializing in #Accessibilty for conformance with #AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) and #WCAG standards. You'd think they'd use language like "activated" and "deactivated" for software instead of "en/disabled".

@bobjonkman This is my personal favorite.

@bobjonkman I love it because it is so obviously not true, but Google wants it to be true.

@bobjonkman Something like Google Maps definitely works better with JavaScript (or as a native app). But that doesn’t mean it is worth the security and privacy tradeoff.
