I am impressed and happy to see Open Library works without Javascript. Thanks for considering the dozens of us. It's totally reasonable not to have "Explorer" work since it sounds like an application and not a document. And even in that case the links and search still show up so it falls back well.

Thanks for noticing, our primary goal is making sure a minimal experience catalog works (best we can) for folks in lower bandwidth areas, older devices, etc.

I've been meeting w/ John Gilmore (EFF) & RMS to make sure we're also testing, to the best of our ability, w/ privacy badger, librejs, and other tools to ensuring beyond nojs support that we have some modicum of assurance for folks who are willing to use js but appreciate a bit more care.
