What the web looks like without JavaScript
A Berlin-based web developer — who codes JavaScript for a living — decided to go an entire day without JavaScript. Let's face it — in an insane world where the average webpage is 2.4 megabytes — the same size as the 1993 game Doom — turning off JavaScript completely can seem like a sane thing to do. Well, here are her main observations after disabling JavaScript in the browser for a day:
Here's what several popular websites she visited looked like with JavaScript disabled:
YouTube's videos and thumbnails don't load.
Netflix doesn't load anything except for its logo in the upper right hand corner.
Amazon looks a bit odd, but it still works.
Wikipedia still works great. You can read her full thoughts on her day without JavaScript experiment here: (6 minute read) Here are three other links worth your time:
