Really, this isn't a Netscape problem so much as it is a problem
with the dorks who coded the webpage. HTML has the <NOSCRIPT> tag
to allow content for browsers that don't understand JavaScript.
The fact that most website designers don't care isn't Netscape's
fault.
Personally, I always send a complaint to the webmaster of a site
if it doesn't display usefully when I have plugins missing/options
disabled. I figured if everyone who was annoyed by this complained,
things would change a bit.
