Fair enough! I did give up eventually on not using js!

I'm a person with low requirements and as a result have yet to encounter a
JS infested website that /I/ need.

But when that happens I will probably grab myself a Raspberry Pi and use one
Micro-SD card per unavoidable website.

The problem is not even that they use JS. More often than not you can work
around it. The problem is that they try to block access to the information
you need to be able to accept their "terms of usage" (of sorts). That
feels rather shady. Or stupid, which might even be worse. :-)

And by the way : the JS requirement and captcha answering on that privacy
policy page is fully bogus. In my case I just disabled CSS (which is a
two-click operation on FF) and I could read the whole thing anyway.

Google used to work fine even before it's infected with JS. From advanced
search, unsafe search, verbatim search, to specifying the date range of the
results. Everything were done without JS.

Now... almost everything needs JS. And the worst thing is, due to JS
infection, Google has become pure evil. Tracking their users. And the sad
thing is, almost all websites help Google track everyone by using Google
analytic, tag manager, and other craps. Sure, such services help website
growth and development, but the website owners are not aware of the
implication of using Google services, or just downright don't care at all.

Those "consent" pages or popups are a joke. They're more like a confirmation
page/popup for asking users whether they want to use the service **and** be
tracked, or... get the hell out.
