Thanks a bunch mate @BlackSparrow
-
@stormwise Welcome to 2002, good luck with browsing!
-
@lamka02sk In fact, when you have configured noscript to allow critical scripts from certain sites, it works fairly well. If once in a while you encounter a site which won't work, I just temporarily set to allow all scripts on that particular site. Agreed, it involves some hazzle, but it is SO worth it!
-
@stormwise and half of the web suddenly does not work :D
The last project I worked on you would get a blank page without JS -
@bytecode When I get a blank webpage, I just temporarily allow all scripts on that page. If it is a page I use more frequently, I can allow permanently, or just relevant parts. After a while, it works fairly well. And performance is WAY better than with all scripting enabled.
-
@bytecode And that is how websites shouldn't be done. Doesn't it even hurt google search rankings, since you have no content whatsoever without JS?
-
We have a HUGE website, Java backend, multiple CMS, 3 separate templating engines, horrible architecture, every single change takes at least a week because Java guys need to hack a solution to provide content to templating engine context. It's a nightmare. Currently switching it all to node middleware with javascript ssr templates. Sorry, but in many cases js is just a simpler and/or better solution. Or our backend developers suck :D
-
@kargaroth That sounds like you have incompetent backend devs mixed with really old legacy code to me. JS isn't simpler in any way, you can have same simple architecture with every major backend language (PHP, ASP, Java).

@hitzoR there is content... an index.html file... but it is a single page app that is made using Vue.js so 🤷
-
@bytecode Lemme guess. There is single <div id="app"> in <body> and then just couple of <script> tags.
-
@hitzoR single <div id="app"> and a single script tag :D
