It should be easy to distinguish a bot from a real user though, isn’t it?
Runterwählen ist kein Gegenargument.

How does it defend a website to deny reading access to static content?
bsky-social-yfjde-fanxw first one gets it
Virtually every website out there today uses Javascript.
Most of those work without it.
Lemmy uses Javascript.
Lemmy is one of several ActivityPub-capable applications. You do not need to use Lemmy inside a web browser in order to participate here. In fact, you don’t even need to use a web browser.
The Web generally does not function without Javascript today.
I disagree. Some websites (with lazy developers) work less well without JavaScript. You’ll gain less annoyances (no JS = no pop-ups and no sophisticated anti-adblock techniques), more speed, less energy consumption, less potential security risks. You’ll lose… not really much. “Web applications” (usually worse, slower and less reliable than installed software), a couple of websites which are very focused on providing effects over contents - sounds like a fair deal to me, but again, YMMV.
Yes, there will never be absolute security. If it runs on a computer, it most likely has security flaws.
I probably said “Windows” once too often (= once).
Are you advocating for some form of isolation? If so, what?
Kernel sandboxing. I mean, breaking out of browser “sandboxes” is a game these days.
Any site you browse to – including those not labeled as such – could well expose you to that vulnerability.
Which is why using the web without JavaScript is a security measurement which I strongly recommend to enable. Sure, many sites will be “less interactive” then, but I’m afraid that it is the only solution. For the usually: rather small number of websites which you absolutely need to use with JavaScript enabled (do you, really?), a separate browser inside a container (or VM) would be a good option. I admit that this is not the most comfortable setup, but I really prefer to be safe than sorry. YMMV, but you asked.
Linux is probably not the wisest choice for gaming - that would still be Windows. Anyway, the distribution does not matter that much. You can install most Linux and cross-platform software on most distributions. Do not choose your system because of what comes as the default desktop, default package set et cetera. Try a few ones. Read some reviews.
Compared to native platforms.
Yet, it is a very not-really-good idea to run stuff on a web browser. Web browsers are a notoriously insecure, slow platform with controls (“Back”, “Reload”, …) which are not optimized to run applications.
edit: I did not expect that the “modern web” crowd would now come here to berate (and downvote) me for the sacrilege of not unconditionally considering web browsers to be the very best piece of software for every purpose. My fault, sorry. I’m out of here, this is pointless.
Da bin ich ja mal gespannt, mit welcher Ausrede die Regierung diesmal wieder leider leider nicht den Beschluss umsetzen kann.
Good point, thank you. Uh… beep!
