Just your asking to blanket ban JavaScript because it could be abused while there isn’t any actual abuse?
How do you know there isn’t?
JS makes it possible much more than the lack of it. That does not mean website owners are abusing intentionally. It means that abuse, exploiting the fact that the users have JS enabled, is possible regardless of owners’ intention (through infrastructure). If JS is not enabled, the possibilities for such abuse are much more limited.
Example: “Verifying your browser” pages, shown by hosting providers, which don’t work without JS - this is not obvious to non-experts. There are also cases when hosting providers inject JS code inside the web pages of the website itself. The website owner might not even know about it. That is not instantly obvious even to experts.
Do you also hold other projects to impossible standards
There are other community websites (which don’t claim superior privacy) that use non-JS-dependent forums. Obviously - possible.
you’re just trolling here while developers wasting explaining the obvious?
Since I am the one explaining the obvious, from my point of view it is the other way around. But thanks for yet another epithet.
As for any other technology which allows downloading and executing arbitrary code - feel free to consider for yourself what it means for security and privacy.
