So are proposing not using JavaScript, which would break every website out there?
I browse sites with JS turned off by default, only turning it on when needed and only for the scripts I want to run. I'm surprised how many sites I can use without JS (including sites that handle lots of traffic). As a result I'm not convinced that websites genuinely need as much JS as they're using. I'm also ready to do without a number of websites. Some of these sites are repeaters for articles I can find elsewhere, some of them offer another means of getting to the same articles, some of them I simply don't use.
JavaScript is an open technology and many of the frameworks like jQuery and Mootools are free software. You are just pissed because the webmasters of every site don't let you get your sticky hands on all of their code so you can steal their hard work and claim it your own.
It's a shame you can't seem to participate in these discussion threads without namecalling, belittlement, or campaigning (one might say trolling) in the name of "open" something particularly where such endorsement ends up denying users the freedoms of Free Software (such as the recent thread about Microsoft's .NET announcement where you endorsed nonfree derivatives of non-copylefted Free Software).
How about you try to fix the situation by writing better software or campaign to make changes?
I think LibreJS does exactly both of these things.
