I have to agree with this. Abusing Javascript and CSS has become fairly common, and it's annoying. Example: altdevblogaday.com does not open in firefox. It just shows a blank page. But if I disable Javascript, it will work as expected. Go figure.

But why does it have to be that way? Those are just some blog posts that I want to read. Plain simple text. There isn't anything interactive there. It's not a web app. Why do they need some obscure javascript that messes up everything and makes the website unusable?
