It’s not paranoid to complain about the unnecessity of javascript when all you want to do is read a public text post on a social media platform. I have javascript disabled on some browsers, and it’s annoying to have to whitelist a site that really shouldn’t need it.
Isn’t it basically a fundamental underlying technology of the web I don’t understand how you can have it disabled and still be able to access modern websites.
it isn’t. that is html and css, some would argue it’s html only.
javascript is not needed to load a website. It’s useful for interaction, and needed to load content separately and dynamically. without it you get a mostly (but not totally) static document like in Office Word

CSR exists. You know, WASM CSR websites rely on JS to manipulate the DOM.
