enable js?
2 comments

Why? All content is already loaded, but it's covered by loader.

Every site should be usable without CSS / JS. Nobody remember Progressive Enhancement nowadays?

but asking the author (who didn't even submit this link), to change his website due to your preference of not using js seems a bit priviliged. Enable js, or move on.
Don't comment, move on…

Why I should ask author, who submits this link? I'm asking author of this article, submitting has nothing to it.

> to your preference

It's not my preference, it's standards. Suggest read about it.

author of the article
On an untrusted site, where the content is readily available in the source view? No thanks, malware and other cryptominers are still a thing.
I've been browsing some website with js disabled and I must say, when it doesn't completely break a website (ex. website with paywalls or relying heavily on dynamic content), it feels like a much better version of the web. No flashy pop-ups, no randomly reloading content, no video ads every 2 paragraph, no banners(!).

Wouldn't say malware and js cryptominers are a big worry of mine though, unless you go on really disreputable websites.

useless use of js is a thing
