Yes, but you have to click past an annoying prompt[1] every time. Does that not happen for you?

Once the cookie's set, I tend to go straight through.

That annoyance is considerably less than all the others a full-JS Twitter imposes. Including the motherlovin' account-creation nag that shows up all the motherlovin' time.

One click through at entry rather than random annoyance in the midst of reading? A net win. And an incredibly sad commentary on the state of the Web.
