I prefer making all my sites work just as well without JavaScript as with it. This is cool though if you need a quick check to see if JavaScript is enabled.
In my view, micrototalitarian actions like this are every bit as bad as the ills they seek to cure. Insisting on infringing the liberty of others, before even so much as talking to another person is the very core of what ails our society in this time.
Any guesses as to why the source code look the way it does? I was expecting a traditional website inside the noscript tags, but instead I found an obfuscated soup letter between them.
It's an inline SVG image. That alphanumeric soup is the coordinates of the points (and handles) of a line. Scroll past that, and you get the website. I have no idea why they made the SVG image inline but the CSS style external, though. That same image is used on every page.

Ye olde days of tracking just used invisible .gifs and every click was a different webpage so they just tracked which ones were requested to gain interaction metrics. JS doesn't have any magic to it, location information is opt-in, but your IP is a much better advertising identifier.
Would love to have heard that final talk!
So running untrusted code on your computer is a bad thing. Well, it should be in a sandbox, but that has many intentional and proably some less intentional holes to do stuff on your machine. So how do I trace what Javascript is doing on my machine? Generally mitmproxy gives a feeling what sites the browser talks too. And strace gives often a good feeling what a Linux binary does. But the browser is too big and compli…
