Re:Websites have evolved back to static HTML/CSS/JS files by zelphirkalt on Monday March 09, 2020 @03:24AM (#22523587)
A problem is, that I need to fiddle around with JS blocking, even on official websites from city, state or gov, because they hired inresponsible web devs or made inresponsible decisions to let Google and others track me on their website. So initially they will be blocked. As far as "experts" for SPA are concerned, they often do not even include a noscript tag, which means I see a white page. Now it cannot become less user friendly than that. I've yet to see a SPA, which offers a working alternative via noscript tag, when I blocked all their tracking. The thing is that SPA all too often serves as a way to force tracking onto the unsuspecting user. "You need to allow our JS! Your browser is outdated! Use Chrome!" and the unsophisticated person will think: "Oh well, lets just whitelist this page dammit!"
