Yes but that's annoying when you want JS enabled to view something like a slideshow on a web page. Swiping from one image to the other requires JS, and you need to go into settings and turn it on. Then remember to turn it off again.

And you might not even know there's a gallery to view, because without JS the fallback might be a single image rather than a prompt to swipe the slideshow.

When the simple act of swiping within a web page requires JS, you're crippling your own experience. Not to mention all the other JS-powered functions on a page. Adding things to a shopping cart etc, is much more user friendly with JS enabled.
