That's true. It seems like javascript disabling is just not on the minds of web developers. You have to be a special kind of masochist to use noscript these days... I used it for years, but ghostery covers most of what I liked about it.
I use Opera with Javascript and Cookies disabled because most things work fine and are much less annoying with that setup.

Exactly this. Comment the why, not the what.

In case there are any resources that describe the technical details, would be nice If someone could post a link.
Very respectable of id to release it. I bet the could still get some sold cash from it if they kept it closed.
