Reuters.com no longer works with JavaScript disabled

It used to show a page with wrong-sized images, but at least you could read the headlines and click into the articles.

Now it just has the text "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker"

Please feel free to share links to any decent news sites still out there with global coverage, that aren't too biased, and let you browse without JavaScript.

lite.cnn.com doesn't need javascript. "decent" and "biased", of course, depends on your perspective.

It still works kinda-okay-ish for me. Perhaps because I'm using Privacy Badger to block cookies? (Using FF, NoScript, and a US internet connection, FWIW.)

Most paywalled sites are going JS heavy lately and only showing partial content.

Looks like they want only subscribers read full article.

I can’t understand why people expect websites to work in 2025 without JavaScript. It’s been a standard part of web browsers for 25 years

I don't personally see much audience for non-JS websites other than headless web crawler. It's good for SEO but otherwise why bother?

I actually intentionally put some content behind JavaScript because AI crawlers see enough of the page to reference it as a source but not enough of the answer to provide the answer without linking to my site. I get decent traffic from AI bots as a result.

Let’s create a browser that just loads archive links or all pages if available.

I’m sick of cookie pop ups, terms of service popups, ads. I’m sorely tempted to quit the internet altogether.
