  • As a web developer, I see js as a quality improvement. No page reloads, nice smooth ui. Luckily, PHP times has ended, but even in the PHP era disabling jQuery could cause problems.

    We could generate static html pages It just adds complexity.

    Personally I use only client-side rendering, and I think, that’s the best from dev perspective. Easy setup, no magic, nice ui. And that results in blank page when you disable js.

    If your motivation is to stop tracking.

    • replace all foreign domain sources to file uris. e.g.: load google fonts from local cache.
    • disable all foreign script files unless it’s valid like js packages from public CDNs, which case load them from local cache.

    If your motivation is to see old html pages, with minimal style, well it’s impossible to do them reliably. If you are worried about closed-source js. You shouldn’t be. It’s an isolated environment. if something is possible for js and you want to limit its capability, contribute to browsers. That’s the clear path.

    I can be convinced. What’s your motivation?
