    This disabling scripts thing is really for hardcore privacy enthusiasts.

    It also just makes things better. Javascripts tend to make for a worse browsing experience to me.

    it will break everything as soon as you do it

    Sites that don’t work without javascripts are broken sites. It’s not the lack of javascript functionality that causes them to break. They are in a broken state and should be updated to not rely on javascripts. Leaving scripts disables makes it clear which sites are broken and which sites are worth accessing.

    The modern web is not useful without java script.

    I disagree. The modern web is unusable with all the ads, trackers, captchas, and javascripts. The true modern web consists of the sites which don’t have all of those drawbacks. Mbin is a good example of what the modern web can and should be. It’s superior to all other fediverse instances I’ve known.

    Only websites designed specifically for not working with javascript will still work.

    Those are the sites worth accessing. ^^

    Just install librewolf on your linux box, change the DNS on your router to block ads and you’re good.

    I do agree that this is good advice <3

    • Hi, question, my own website pretty much only uses JavaScript in order to correctly display a list of my blogposts without me having to manually update the html. I did really want a way to have this without JavaScript (or backend services like PHP, I’m still hosted by neocities). Is there?

        I am actually less-knowledgeable than you on these kinds of things, as I’ve still not yet setup my own services and know next-to-nothing about the dev part of web-dev. I have no real experience yet. The things I know come from a user perspective. Sorry to disappoint.
