    Yep, noscript on firefox has been available for like 15 years. And it certainly does “break” some sites as it blocks scripts by default. It can be a pain, though I consider it the safest way

      Since the web works via a DOM (Document Object Model) and a document that needs to execute active content to display anything is not a document, a webpage that needs JS to load the document can safely be considered broken.

        I was trying to explain it more practically, but yes the web is a wasteland.

        You are talking about the difference between a website and a web application. Nothing is broken. Given that the alternative used the be Flash/Coldfusion I’m not sure this way is worse.
