As you can see even these web giants, and their top sites on the web do not work without javascript. So turning off javascript is a silly thing to do just because that is your personal preference or you afraid of some mostly non-existent threat. If you this type then just do not use the web then!!!

If you turn js off then you need to live with the fact that you can't use the majority of sites!

I remember times when some developers started trying to make it look trendy and cool and also smart to create sites that can be used with js on and off too. This stupidity only means doubling or tripling the time of development and the budget needed nothing else, which of course for those people is not clear as they are insane, and still some things are simply not possible without js anymore. It is the silliest idea...

That time I had to deal with this issue and face the fact that some people wanted me to create sites like that. It was very annoying and lot of wasting time of arguing on needles stupid things. Trying to make things work without js is not possible anymore or result in a very poor website.

I am not really a fan of javascript, but still... People just have to live with the fact that it is needed nowadays! So stop coming up with silly ideas and nonsense...

If we follow this logic we can try to use a computer with the CPU removed to see if it still works without it... Removing the CPU by the way also protect you from malware and viruses LOL

Experimenting is a good thing, but you should still keep your sanity!
