The more I see comments like this, the more convinced I am that there is some sort of conspiracy to restrain and otherwise beat into submission users by forcing them to use hideously overcomplex software that can execute arbitrary code, and which is controlled by effectively two large organisations (one of which already has immense power over the Internet), just to view a website that is nothing more than a static document.

Nothing on that site needs JS. Nothing on that site should need any more than a browser that can display text and images. This isn't a fancy "web application" or other JS-based thing.
