Why does mobile.twitter.com require scripting?

Post by tarjk »

Anyone know why Twitter requires scripting just to read the mobile page? I always end up at this page without scripting: https://mobile.twitter.com/signup/nojs

Is there a reason there is no surrogate script, or has one just not been built yet?

Try
NoScript Options > Advanced > Untrusted, check "Forbid META redirections inside <NOSCRIPT> elements"
?
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

I actually already had that setting enabled.

OK then try disabling it and going
about:config > set accessibility.blockautorefresh to true

The regular site seems to work (to an extent) without JavaScript :D

Religion is not the opium of the masses. Daily life is the opium of the masses.

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.
