I don't see this as a RISC OS specific.
To be honest I dislike sites which rely on javascript. I dislike
monster sites full of bloat. If there is an alternative way of getting
the information quickly, I would like the option (whatever platform
I'm using).
If a site offers a choice between a plain site and a bloat site, I'll
usually take the plain one.
