I disalllow Google javascript unless needed. In Gmail, with javascript
disallowed, I get the basic version of the Web interface. With
javascript enabled, I get the standard version of the interface.
Basic runs with javascript disallowed.

I don`t use any of that stuff either. If I want to use Gmail, I just
want to use mail functions. I don`t expect there to be a common
interface to other features.
