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:
- The web is really fast without JavaScript
- There aren’t any ads. No auto-playing videos or “tell us your email address” pop-ups.
- But… a lot of websites don’t work at all. Images don’t load, and forms can’t be submitted.
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 left hand corner.
Amazon looks a bit odd, but it still works.
Wikipedia still works great.
