Having to enable javascript to see a website is not an accessibility problem according to WCAG.


It is a very real accessibility problem if you're using Dillo, which does not support javascript.


it's also a real accessibility problem if you're trying to use sticks and rocks to access the internet


This is in the context of where that web browser is hosted, so it's quite relevant.


Why should you need JavaScript to render text and buttons? Were browsers unable to do this prior to the JavaScriptification of everything?


It has been, this year, 30 years since JS became a normal part of the web. You don't need it to render text and buttons, but we do different things with the internet now.


The same reason you need to use LLMs to code.


Do you copy and paste every comment you make on HN or is this just for me?


Imagine.


There's 'enabling javascript' and then there's 'requiring a javascript VM with bleeding edge features basically only found 3 browsers'.
