On my own site, any JS flourish has a noscript fallback. There's nothing major there in the first place, but it makes me happy to do that.

The other rule is that the JS is all hand-written. No frameworks or other dependencies.

I've also been tinkering more with no framework js, although it's by way of typescript and webpack. And it's really fun, I think there are a lot of cases where you can just opt out of react or bootstrap if you know what you're doing

noscript is sadly, not perfect, but works if you stay 1st party.

A great way to make your browsing better is to disable 3rd party scripts by default and whitelist when needed, but <noscript> fails to work in those conditions.

You're thinking about Noscript the plugin. <noscript> is also an HTML tag that can contain content for use when the browser isn't running JS, but which would yield a cleaner page if not present when JS is running.

no, im thinking about noscript, the html tag.

if you disable 3rd party javascript, (using ublock origin or others) noscript tags don't trigger because scripting is still technically turned on and noscript tags aren't assigned to the script they compliment so the browser has no way of knowing which ones to run or not run in the 3rd party situation.
