Once in a while you hit a really ancient site that is CSS free. Like the original CERN sites.

They seem strange but navigation is usually absolutely clear and they are lightening fast.

Another interesting aspect of these classic sites is that they’re pretty much completely compatible with screen readers with zero additional effort.

I see you haven't run into one heavily utilizing tables for layout yet.

Fun fact: you're commenting on a site that uses tables for layout. It's not an unholy mess though, as it doesn't have sidebars or other really complicated stuff.

Hence the inclusion of "heavily".

"heavy use of tables". I ran into a script once that took a picture as input and output a massive HTML table with a cell for each pixel and a background color. "Pure html" images without CSS or base64.

You can fully use amazon still with javascript disabled. The site even looks nearly the same but it doesn’t spin your laptops fans rendering kindle unlimited ads on the home page.

I do, thats what I use to block js. It still is a lot faster than letting js run.
