I really appreciate how fast the pages load. And despite the warning banner at the top, Javascript does not appear to be required for basic search, browse, & read functionality, which I very much appreciate.
I noticed that too. What features don't work without Javascript? I admit this suggestion is swimming against the tide, but maybe it could be a new thing for those warnings to start being more specific so people who routinely disable Javascript can make an informed choice about whether to enable it. You wouldn't want all your painstakingly written front end code to go to waste just because of people mistakenly assuming it's only for annoying animations, popups, and tracking.
