Browsers used to be. They used to let the user apply their own CSS sheets to websites, and some extensions still allow tem to manipulate pages ("user scripts").

Web technologies were designed to let the user do what they want with the document they receive. But "the web" then evolved in a different direction.

Case in point: TFA, like many other sites, is unusable without Javascript. And it's not even "because CDN". Why do I have to execute code on a page that could be 1:1 replicated in pure HTML ?
