The people making these decisions for these websites are like ocean liner captains who are *trying* to hit icebergs.

One of the many reasons I made Quiche Browser was to get a per-website JavaScript kill switch in my toolbar.

But these days I'm even tempted to disable JavaScript everywhere and enable it only where needed.

@quicheindustries @daringfireball in case that approach become popular, the sites will inline all that garbage with no JS. What's your next turn then?

@vitonsky @daringfireball Without JavaScript they won’t be able to do much in that area.

@quicheindustries @daringfireball what do you mean? It's site decide what content user will see. Not the JavaScript.

@vitonsky The most annoying kind of contents, modals, interactions, or animations can't exist without JavaScript.
Show threadRobert Vitonsky2h ago
@quicheindustries incorrect. The animations is implemented via CSS, not a JS. Modals may be shown by default when page loads and require a user action to close that modal. With no JS you just will not be able to close such modals
