Ironically, if you are reading this thread, you'll find that most people think websites have significant functionality degradation with JavaScript enabled.

This is the new web first world, where everyone is obligated to maintain finely-tuned block lists for various trackers and hostile JavaScript, run adblockers that prefilter sites and click on various odd-looking rectangles to get that plugin to run. The web is a joke.

It's not true that "everyone is obligated" to do those things; people who want to only selectively enable scripts and install extensions to achieve that goal are obligated to.
