"javascript is required to load this page"

Is there a CVE database noscript/basic (x)html reader?

Previously there was https://cve.circl.lu/cve/CVE-2024-38063

Had a look, I could not get anything about it. Maybe there will be noscript/basic (x)html sites with some sort of proof of concept?

With javascript enabled, it's just looks like a paginated slide show and each page is a spinning loading circle. You're not missing much.

Apparently surfraw has an elvis for it: https://gitlab.com/surfraw/Surfraw/-/wikis/current-elvi

It’s 2024, all major sites require JS to load properly.

This sounds like a problem that needs solved, not a club to beat people with when they complain about it.

without a financial or regulatory incentive, it will remain unsolved. Companies do not care about catering to the 0.01% with JS disabled.

Yep, regulatory, like EU did to apple: recuring fines of billions of $. It seems to be the only way.

It’s 2024, all major sites [Have Been Engineered To] require JS to load properly.

Yep, tons of them were working more than fine in noscript/basic (x)html.

This is just some big tech-cracy abusing the script kiddy who is in all of us, poisoning us with massive kludges which obsviously only them could maintain and control, using it as trojan horse for all their toxic tech.

I forgot... "toxic tech"... and their backdoors...

Using the internet in 2024 without JS, and commenting on things not working, is borderline delusional behaviour.

I can't access it via my Gopher client.

Yep, angular is now used for basic operation of internet, just as planned.

If a website can't manage to at least display text and images without needing JS it's just bad design. Good design degrades gracefully and prioritizes making the essential data accessible to as many people as possible

aka sane common sense

thinking that including 3 trillion billion js libraries is necessary to put some text out there in a nice way is also pretty delusional, yet here we are
