Why do you disable javascript out of curiosity?

Nothing against any site in particular, but these are things which I hold against most websites:

1. Page load times

2. Ads, interstitials, popups, screen-coverers

3. Those annoying bars at the top or bottom of a page that move with the page. Or the ones that pop out when you've read 2/3 of an article.

4. Auto-playing video and ads with sound.

5. Javascript exploits are uncommon (tinfoil hat)

I want a flat web, and disabling Javascript gives it to me. Thankfully, Chrome lets you whitelist sites.

I've specified in chrome for click to play on flash which has helped the autoplay videos, as well as blocked a bunch of offenders (meebo) to my hosts file. Couple this with adblock plus and I'm pretty OK with having JS auto-run.

thanks! We're going to change that font ASAP.

We fixed it on the blog. We still have to address it on the main site. Google's Open Sans looks awesome on OSX and Windows/IE & Firefox. But it's totally busted on Chrome on W7. Go Figure.

I'm on Chrome v22.0.1229.92 on W7 and am still seeing the issues described above while viewing the blog article.

I'm sure I fixed this, can you check the cache? (We should be properly cache busting).

I was using Ctrl+Shift+R at the time to skip the cache in case that was the issue, however it is working for me now.

We are investigating. Thanks for reporting.

I've checked again and it is fixed for me. Thank you.
