Chrome (latest) on Mac (Sierra): blank page, dev console shows it tried to write to local storage and never caught the exception when that failed (I restrict local storage and cookies based on whitelists; unsure why this would need local storage).
Safari (latest): partial load followed by a message telling me to "get a modern browser" and a redirect to download Chrome.
Firefox (latest dev edition): page actually loads, but doesn't seem to do anything and tells me to use my phone to throw planes.
Thing is, I can understand how something might just not work without JavaScript. And cookies I'm prepared to accept the tradeoff with.
But local storage? It consistently astonishes me to find sites which completely refuse to even load any visible content unless they get access to local storage, when there's no reason whatsoever to need it. And I don't just mean sites that use it as a proxy for detecting incognito/private windows (who are, obviously, trying to force acceptance of tracking in order to view anything), I mean JavaScript demos which should run perfectly fine without needing to store anything client-side but still get built to use local storage, and to fail not at all gracefully when it isn't available.
Same experience here, with FF Dev Edition on Windows. No restrictions at all, event disabled my ad blocker: No dice, just the 'Use your mobile' message.
