Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:

Do not assume users turn off CSS or JavaScript

• I’ve seen this before, but Stefan Judis’ newsletter pointed it out to me again.
• This is the Government Digital Service’s “service manual” on “Building a resilient frontend using progressive enhancement”.
• It maintains that we don’t support no-JS / no-CSS browsers for the sake of a minority of individuals who may disable such features. Instead, we do so to account for all manner of other circumstances, including network errors, ad blockers, firewalls and proxies, all of which can interfere with the loading and execution of CSS/JS.
• Making services work without JS or CSS makes them more accessible to a wide variety of users.

Prefer longer newsletters? You can subscribe to week11y, fortnight11y or even month11y updates! Every newsletter gets the same content; it is your choice to have short, regular emails or longer, less frequent ones. Curated with ♥ by developer @ChrisBAshton.
