I understand your viewpoint, but I consider all script tags that a server provides to be merely suggestions.

A browser is, after all, a user-agent. The web was designed this way for a reason.

Would I be breaking some sort of inferred agreement if I browsed with no Javascript enabled at all?

In any case, a site server logs should provide ample information for analytics, unless they are measuring mouse movements or scrolling etc.

Just wait until that official DRM crap is used for adtech and preventing you from modifying the HTML the server sends.

This is a war; a never-ending war of users VS adtech. I realize how much defense I have to run to protect mtself even moderately, and I'm still losing.
