I didn't know what to expect to see. I vaguely assumed to see some text and data. That's why I carelessly formulated my question like I did. Still, I think the difference is small and my question wasn't extraordinary.

I use uMatrix, this site just shows up as a white page until I allow it to load some JS from a third party. Once I allow the JS, I see a graph that gets built without any explanation of what that graph means.
Is there a particular reason why you can't enable JS yourself? Metered connection? Low-end machine?
I consider it an unacceptable form of code deployment. It's unsafe in the computing sense, and leads to a ecosystem where users are less and less in control of the software they use.
Metered wouldn't really matter would it? Scripts are still downloaded, right? (never had JS off, because the web)
Metered could matter - it's very easy to disable downloading of any non-inlined JS (like with uBlock)
