Javascript is a programming language made for dynamic websites. My website is not dynamic : you read what I write, but they is no interaction. No comments, no ads, no tracking.
I don't use Javascript for x reasons :
- It slows down your browsing
- It means my servers takes more bandwith and energy
- I don't need it
- I don't want you to run code without knowing what it does,
- ... and I don't want you to not have the choice about it.
It's also a power-saving mesure : it means that they is less bandwidth used, thus less electricity. And that's also a small, but important way to preserve the planet.
Javascript in general is not that great of a idea. You can read more about it here : ["I Turned Off JavaScript for a Whole Week and It Was Glorious"](https://www.wired.com/2015/11/i-turned-off-javascript-for-a-whole-week-and-it-was-glorious/)
