You're certainly welcome to browse the internet without JavaScript.

But when most of the articles submitted here don't work without JavaScript, this comment seems really irrelevant.

I do not understand the anti-JavaScript folks here. This is a forum that celebrates all sorts of automation, but now when a website wants to run automations that is agitating?

I guess my question would be why does something so benign and common aggravate you so much? That feels like an exhausting way to live.

		Most webpages that function as simple documents can be built without JS. If you build webpages, you probably have an intuition for what kind of functionality necessitates JS. When a webpage requires that users enable JS, then, when it doesn't seem like it should need it, that's a signal of either developer laziness or nefarious behind-the-scenes activity (tracking, etc.).

		I dislike JS, because I don't want to let random websites to run arbitrary code on my machine. Most importantly, enabling JS makes it much easier to spy on users, so I automatically assume that the website tries to spy on my and feel attacked. I agree it's not healthy, and I didn't care about privacy that much in the past. I guess this may be caused by my work experience.

		There's no reason to require JavaScript to render rich text especially when it's an article about CSS prowess.
