I guess people with javascript turned off are not the target market for this site, but I found this humorous:

I find it amusing that your post links to a page which itself doesn't work without javascript. :)


Fortunately there is a direct link to the image there. http://i64.tinypic.com/2v31s94.jpg


Don't start thinking you can link to that directly. They redirect you to their js-enabled page which doesn't work with adblockers/analytics blockers.


I'd say that nicely sums up the "State of JavaScript in 2018": you'll need it even to view a non-app information-oriented page. :-(


I can't see anything even with their js enabled. Seems like they depend on google analytics and fail if that's not loaded too.


It's easy to wind up in that spot, irritating all the same though. I try to use everything I do with clean degradation with ad-block, etc... only local and/or cdnjs scripts required (if anything).


Me too. I develop with umatrix enabled, with font loading disabled, so that I can catch these problems, etc.

Forces you to use sensible technology, like svg and not fonts for icons, and catch these types of missing optional dependency errors, and not depend too much on a specific font in your design, so that if brwser forces something else, you don't start having overflowing text everywhere.
