From the article: "The only person who is significantly injured by turning off JavaScript on my site is me, because it’s needed for the login system and posting UI".

To me this is more sad than the tenure of the article as JS should not be needed to do this at all, I do not need that on my website.

I also disagree with making everything uniform in usage as it brings boredom to the field, for me most exiting times in a field is when the uniformity hasn't kicked in yet, of course my opinion is personal.

I only use NoScript to safe my ass from scams and nasty people trying to encrypt your stuff and extort you for it, and it does it's job well for that.

On my website I mainly use scripting to bring luxury shortcuts for the people logged in, it works without all that for the outside world.



There may be stuff I add to my site that needs scripting. And I may take the scripting out for the login.

The posting UI is just for geolocation which you can't do without JS.


Nice for you to reply on my opinion, this tells me to take you serious even though we disagree on things.

I do wonder why one needs geolocation for an open website (where one has not logged in), and are there really no geolocation systems on serverside that you can use?


I use geolocation to tag my posts with my location. I'm trying to build my own Foursquare using OpenStreetMap data.
