Why do people still use this cancer?
I'm using uMatrix and I have to unlock Javascript in case of almost 90% website.

>>61318440
because it's useful. stop blocking it you fucking autist

Why is it cancer?
>>
>>61318470
99% of web-botnet comes from Javascript and Flash.
>>
>>61318440
Because if you want to keep up with looking modern and professional (and you do, because it's an arms race) you need to use it because there's nothing else that will run in browsers. (Well, other than WebAssembly which hasn't/just launched).

>>61318440
Dynamic web pages. No joke.
>>
>>61318480
what the fuck is "web-botnet"
>>
>>61318600
web-malware
>>
>>61318613
Malware is a sandboxing issue, not a client side scripting issue. Blaming the whole of client side scripting is rather throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
>>
>>61318613
there's also malware for operating systems written in C. I guess C is cancer now
>>
>>61318670
I'm happy that there's no C in web.
>>
>>61318440
For the same reason people use Java, C, C++, C#, etc. IT IS USEFUL, you fucking mong.
>>
>>61318715
At least they don't prevent me from using AdBlock.

It's because JavaScript is "hip". All the developers want to use shitty JS frameworks like Angular and React, and this alone forces you to enable JS. They care more about using "hip" technologies than your privacy.

Facebook connect buttons on every page. The same six ad companies tracking you across every site you visit.
>>
>>61318707
You better buckle up, because there's about to be.
>>
>>61318440
bump

>>61318470
Slow as fuck, ads, tracking, disabling browser functionality.
We need to go back.

because they have to

it's 2017. javascript engines are fast as fuck
>>
>>61319455
youre an idiot

It is fast. Very fast.
I mean even if JS isnt fast. Node.js is a lot better than apache. And node.js is js based
>>
>>61320441
>Node.js is a lot better than apache
node isn't a web server you faggot.
you need to use nginx in front of node, or apache if you're a pajeet
>>
because brainlets need jobs too

>Node.js is a lot better than apache
you mean node's http server is better than apache? it's not
>>61320690
>you need to use nginx in front of node, or apache if you're a pajeet
you don't https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_server
but it's true that you should use nginx. unless you really need node (when you're doing SSR for example)
>>
>>61318440
But anon, it's usable even out of the browser. You can write your scripts in ECMAScript and run them in node.js. I think it's pretty neat.

why cant we just use html5 and css
WHYY CANT I ORDER A PIZZA WITHOUT JAVAAAA

>>61322306
>confusing javascript with java
how fucking clueless can you be
>>
>>61322306
>why cant we just use html5 and css
because I don't want to refresh the whole thread to load one new post and I want to be able to click on post's number to add it as quotelink to my reply
you clearly didn't browse 4chan before js extensions so you don't know what a pain in the ass it is

there is any good boilerplate for make JavaScript-free webpages?
>>
>>61322431<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My shitty webpage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
>>
>>61322431
Just write your own stylesheet. It's not that hard to write something that looks nice and avoid js altogether.
>>
>>61319630
Yeah, but it doesn't matter on a 50mb webpage that connects to 150 other servers.
>>
>>61322643
it does actually
>>
Because there's no way to make a declarative website.
