One more reason to hate javascript as used and abused by modern "webdevs" and block it all unless absolutely necessary. I try very hard to keep my pages pure css and html.

Yeah, I have JavaScript disabled by default with uMatrix and it's a pretty annoying trend that almost every second page — even a static one page site — needs JavaScript to display anything
I try very hard to keep my pages pure css and html.
That's cool, but you obviously have different requirements for the pages you build, and likely aren't in the SPA space, so your better-than-thou outlook doesn't apply.
...What?
just the first stage of 'I hate JS because it's cool to hate JS'
second stage is 'OMFG this website doesn't work for me. How could developer not think about my entitled ass and not spend 2x time to make it work without JS?'
No, that's not it at all.
It's the only reasonable response to the user-hostile dumpster fire that is the current web. Javascript has made the web better in a small handful of ways, and made the web significantly worse in every other way.
