> if your browser runs JavaScript:

I don't understand this remark. What browsers do people use that don't have javascript?

Some people run their browsers with JavaScript turned off. Some folks disable CSS. Some even browse via Lynx, a text web browser. It seems like the author's met some of these folks.
I had never heard of Lynx, thanks!
I think it just means "if you have JavaScript enabled". But to give a technical example, Lynx doesn't support JavaScript.
For most people, this will mean Ublock origin settings. For a smaller number of people, stripped down greybeard-approved browsers
I don't like to presume :)
