I don't disable javascript, only some externally loaded scripts. Anything loaded from the same host is allowed.

I expect some sites not to work fully, but completely blank is unexpected.




Ah, sorry about that. I agree there should at least be an error message.

We originally built this as a page on openlistings.co (/fixers), but then found this awesome domain. The assets are all the same from openlistings.co, we're just checking the current domain in our Backbone.js router. Kind of hacky, but it was the quickest way to get it up! Also, if you click any of the detail pages you need the rest of the assets anyway because it takes you back to openlistings.co. Long story short, it's pulling in assets and doing API calls to openlistings.co.


> you need the rest of the assets anyway

Like I said, I expect some things not to work. But the page should not be completely blank.

The plain text on the home page does not need javascript for anything.


Hosting external javascript allows sites to load faster and it is easier for the developers so that strategy isn't going to last much longer.


Considering that hosting javascript (and fonts and files) externally leaks information about your visitors to third partys hopefully some developers will care about their users' privacy and not do that.


Privacy is long dead. I am sure some people will care, but not enough to matter.
