- smt88 12y ago"Superfluous" is not the same as "not necessary in practice" in this case. There are many websites that use JavaScript for polyfills, browser detection, screen detection, and scroll detection. In some cases there are alternatives, but that doesn't mean those alternatives are ubiquitous.
