Thought this was a little funny.

But it isn't JavaScript, really. It's extensive use of JS and... everything else.
I've kept a copy, several copies actually, of the odd browser OffByOne for ages. Can't remember the purpose of the browser anymore, if there ever was one. No JS, no CSS, no frames, no anything. It's good for a quick check of how a page works with nothing but HTML. But sometimes I wander of on the web with it. Not many sites work with it but those that do are FAST.
http://offbyone.com/offbyone/ob1_download.htm (site works erratically ATM it seems).
I still keep JS off by default in a couple of my browsers. The majority of sites still seem to be at least functional, especially the informative ones, but I've increasingly had to switch to my JS-enabled browsers the last couple of years for sites with commercial content.
I think it would be better if JS wasn't overused in the first place.
K-Meleon is the only browser I know that has disabling of JS and a whole lot of other things easily available on a tool bar, called privacy bar. An admirably thin toolbar at that.
CSS can be easily disabled too, something browsers are required to provide but don't. I have to use a menu for that though. Don't know why that isn't on the privacy bar as well.
That's good. So Opera has kept at least something from their grand past.
No, Opera12 was the last old one, the link above is on how to keep using it securely.
Vivaldi is closer to the old Opera than the new one, but I haven't investigated its capabilities for a while now.
