Since we're being meta, I will note that the website does in fact put up a popup telling me to "Please enable JavaScript!" that obscures the whole page. Amusingly the popup is translucent and I can see the content of the page behind it rendering just fine, so clearly JS is not needed for it.

That's where the "kill sticky headers" smart bookmark comes in handy: https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/

Those bookmarks rely on JS.

I hope you can see the problem.

(I can DevTools the popup away myself, or switch to Reader mode, or just close the tab. No JS-executing bookmarks needed.)

Ah you are not using noscript but have JS actually disabled in the browser? Hardcore. I would tend to just use noscript but still use smart bookmarks, much easier to just mash a button than mess about with DevTools.
