I wish that alternative was confined to a plugin running in a rectangle on the page. Otherwise game theory incentives make every site add a megabyte of JavaScript to every article, and stop you from reading unless you load the whole megabyte.


That's happening today (just check the "big" news sites) just as it happened before with Flash-based sites.

But that is just bad habit of programmers, not the issue with the technology per se.


Non-essential Javascript is usually added to the bottom of the page, or set to async to prevent it from blocking page loading.
