I have had too many things I liked screwed up by hipster "new! shiny!" change-for-no-good-reason and PerlMonks has been one of my few respites from that malignant idiocy. If it is not broken, do not fix it. "Old system that still works" is not "broken".
I completely agree! I too run NoScript. Often pages simply don't render with JavaScript turned off. Unless it is a page I really want or need to visit, I'll simply go somewhere else. Even for a page I have to visit I'll enable the minimum script I need to see the content I'm interested in. Funny how often that leaves large blank spaces free of adds and unwanted video content!
