"It must turn on the JavaScript, or it gets the blank page again" - The Silence of the LAMPs

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/insist#Verb

Wiktionary is a website that has improved functionality after turning on JavaScript, but works just fine without it. It does not insist on using JavaScript.

I guess what you actually mean is "no one is insisting on me looking at their website"? That would be true, but I don't recall making any contrary claims.

If I do want to look at a website, the site insists on using JavaScript, but does not use HTTPS, that can be a security issue. That's what my original comment tries to point out.
