No JavaScript No Content

On my iPhone, I continue to use Safari without JavaScript to browse the web. In addition to hamburger menus not working, I have come across a bigger issue. Some of the sites I visited are completely blank with JavaScript turned off. What even more shocking is that sites with typography are completely empty.

I started off with Frere-Jones Type and it is completely blank. Then I headed over to Kilotype, which designed by the same company that created Frere-Jones Type, and it is also completely blank. H&Co is completely blank. Future Fonts is completely blank. Even Google Fonts is completely blank.

I don’t have the courage to go on. As CSS fonts continue to advance and mature, I wonder why these sites rely solely on JavaScript to deliver their content. I will continue to use Safari on my iPhone to browse sites and read news. I won’t turn on JavaScript unless I absolutely have to.
