As someone who has JS off by default for a long time (ever since I discovered how much it could remove annoyances, and this was back when SPAs were basically nonexistent) and is thus often subjected to "Please enable JS" messages which more likely than not will simply make me click the back button[1], I am delighted to see this exists --- I've thought of the idea before, but never did anything with it:

[1] I once enabled JS on a site that claimed it would provide "a better experience", and was bombarded with a bunch of ads and other irritations that just made me turn it off again. It was not a "better experience".

As someone who has JS off by default (via uMatrix) I see a blank page.

You need something to enable the `<noscript>` content to be rendered, like a uBO dynamic rule `no-scripting: $hostname true`. uM doesn't do that.

I think it depends on how you disable it. Anecdotally, I think it’s “if no scripts are executed on the page, render <noscript> content, but if any scripts at all are executed, don’t”.

Arnavion was actually right. No scripts at all were executed.
