Yeah, I have javascript disabled most of the time. The only time I enable javascript is if the web page won't load without it. That's probably the reason I don't have a lot of problems with right clicking being blocked.

Less spam ads (Or none)
Faster loading of pages


Im glad ya find ENABLE RIGHT CLICK useful!! (Even though both of us have scripts disabled mostly)
The way I handle javascript is that I have Chrome Canary installed, which I'm using right now. I keep javascript disabled all the time on this browser. If a page doesn't load, then I copy the URL and open it in the regular Chrome browser. Which until recently was a rarity, but is becoming more and more common. I expect in the near future, it won't even be worth it not to have javascript enabled.

For the record, the day that CD becomes unusable without javascript is the day I clean my hands of this forum to go find greener pastures.

Walmart will load. I'm not sure if you can actually order anything, and it is buggy, but it will load without javascript enabled. Come to think of it, the Walmart site is buggy even with javascript. Some Facebook pages will also load, but for all practical purposes FB is non functional without javascript. I agree that Instagram and Craigslist don't load at all without javascript.

Craigslist used to only need javascript for interactive images to load. The creep continues.

On Chrome, if I disable javascript on walmart.com using uBlock Origin, and then refresh, I get a blank screen. If I re-enable javascript, and then refresh again, then walmart.com loads.

That might be a uBlock Origin problem. Here is Walmart.com loaded without javascript. It's mostly non-functional though.

I remember how shocked I was the first time I went to Craigslist and it didn't load. My god it's an entirely text based website that hasn't been updated since 1996. Yet they had too go and add a javascript requirement to it?
