many javascript libraries that used to work with SeaMonkey have stopped working when a new version of the library has been released

no new features, just rewrites that break things

and of course they also make everything more bloated with each new version

now even Iltalehti does not work with Seamonkey anymore... the articles don't load, it just shows a loading animation and throws the console full of errors

Modern JavaScript development should be considered a war crime as per the Vienna Convention

about two years ago that site worked with lynx

tomman: the problem is incompetence, many web developers today are genuinely unaware about the fact that every element has a static HTML tag that can be used instead of JavaScript

and they probably don't even know about other browsers than Chrome, Edge and maybe Firefox

They work in the IT field without actually knowing anything about computers. They understand some basic programming logic but that's about all

hope that when Google gets forced to divest Chrome, a 10-year moratorium is placed on JS feature dev

no new features allowed, only bugfixes and removal of useless "standards"

And they don't believe when someone tries to educate them about these things, they just become angry

ha, the "move fast and break everything" SV mindset

they just keep insisting that no, everything MUST be made with JavaScript, there is no other way and static HTML tags are old and deprecated and not supported by browsers and server softwares anymore

no amount of evidence will change their minds
