> I use Vivaldi because it makes easy to have JS off by default and enable for each website that really needs it.
So you fill in this entire form, hit submit, and then find out that you really needed JS and now you have to fill in the form all over again. How is that easy?
I am a developer, I can guess what site needs JS, like payment sites, sites that are actually SPAs. Check all submissions from HN and let me know how many have forms , load fine without JS and don't complain that JS is off and then fail on submit?
It is easy because I don't get popups for cookies, for allowing location access, no fancy scroll effects , I also disabled animated GIFs.
If you are a webdev and you don't work on an SPA but for some reason you site is half broken with JS off then use the standards and put a message that informs the user that JS is required.
I would not setup this to some random person computer, ad blockers too can screw with shopping carts and some websites also beg to stop the ad blocker , so I would not install ad blockers too any random person either, but here on HN JS off by default is a good advice, most should understand that if page is blank or some button does nothing then it might be a JS related issue.
Whose fault is that? The one who disables the JavaScript not actually needed to submit a POST request, or the one who implements a web service which requires client code execution to receive a POST request (or worse, who uses GET for POST)?
