Just started getting this now. Hopefully it’s some A/B testing that they’ll stop doing, but I’m not holding my breath

    My question is if it wasn’t required before and is required now, what changed? It’s not like Google has added a killer feature recently - this is almost certainly related to those shitty AI answers that are forcing your actual search results even further down the page than they were already.

      Even things like lazy loading and such require js though

      A lot of features might not be obvious honestly

      If you’re interested though, you could check the source which should be able to tell you immediately what they use it for

        I love how Lemmy users just assume everyone is a coder… Just a funny observation, not being rude. Lol

          Presumably… If you’re complaining about the use of Javascript, you have some coding knowledge. Otherwise it’s like complaining about the steering wheel in a car, when you can’t drive and don’t have a licence.

          Either they have the knowledge to confirm your answer, or you’re just being a backseat driver
