Blocked! - O’Reilly Radar
Following on from that Wired article I linked to about disabling JavaScript, Simon St. Laurent brings in another factor—content blockers on iOS:
Apple offers its users the power to turn off much of the Web: fonts, styles, scripts, and more.
He rightly points out that the answer to building a robust, resilient web has been here all along:
Turning off web fonts, CSS, and images will frustrate designers and limit user interface possibilities, but turning off JavaScript might mean that we have to reconsider the architecture of our applications. Without JavaScript, the Web returns to its foundations of HTTP requests returning pages, with links and form submissions as the backbone of application structure.
