Congrats on shipping. It&#x27;s great to see more alternatives in this space, I built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;noscript.it" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;noscript.it</a> a few years ago to allow me to selectively disable javascript in Safari. But I rarely use it, or any of the other alternatives (like Stopthescript and Brave) that is available because so much of the Web is just broken beyond repair without javascript and there is no incentive to try to reverse this trend.<p>I mean, most noscript users are invisible to analytics, so even if there was a lot of us, which there isn&#x27;t, nobody would know :-)<p>And also the worst pages which abuse javascript the most, and where users would benefit the most from noscript have negative incentive to allow that as it a lot of the bad JS is ads.<p>Sorry for turning this into a rant about general things instead of your app. I have a lot of feelings about this :-)<p>One idea for your app though, what do you think about a shared broken-blocklist? It&#x27;s something I considered a few times, as displaying a white page isn&#x27;t great UX. And without great UX the critical mass of people without JS enabled will be hard to reach. So my idea was to have a blocklist shared between either all users of an app or all noscript solutions. I think the UX would improve if we could just show a informative error message instead of a blank or mostly broken page, and crowd sourcing a list of pages which won&#x27;t work without JS might be the way to go?

Very nice! I&#x27;m starting to believe the no-JS life may end up being the only answer to the enshittification of the mobile web. One of the reasons I built my own iOS browser was to have a &quot;disable JS&quot; button readily available, so I fully support you!
