Well it has embedded GIFs and videos, it's not gonna work without JS...
On a side note, people are way too paranoid about JavaScript for privacy. Browsers are much better at sandboxing and restricting webpages than they used to be. Sure, I guess only viewing static pages like it's 1995 is better for privacy, but it's a bit unreasonable of a tradeoff to make.
Gif and video do work with HTML only.
Both of those things work perfectly without JS. JS didn't even exist when GIFs were first invented.
Here's a list of security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 115. Almost all of them are only exploitable if JavaScript is enabled. Two of them, if successfully exploited, allow a malicious web page to completely take over your computer. And that's just the vulnerabilities that were fixed in one Firefox version!
JavaScript is an extreme security threat. Enabling it for all websites is nuts.
