Hmm, I can`t even get logged in with Javascript disabled. When I go to
gmail.com, and normally get the login page, instead I see:
Couldn`t sign you in
The browser you`re using doesn`t support JavaScript, or has JavaScript
turned off
To keep your Google Account secure, try signin in on a browser that
has JavaScript turns on.
The hyperlink points to:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7675428?hl=en-US
which mentions having to use a "supported" browser. "supported" means
Javascript is supported and enabled in the web browser.
I enabled Javascript to get past the login page. I disabled Javascript
once the webmail client was displayed, and refreshed the page to
eliminate any content generated by Javascript. Then I got:
Javascript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard
view.
There was a hyperlink to switch to basic view. I didn`t want to do that
since I wasn`t sure I could come back. It`s not like basic/standard is
a setting that I can select in Gmail settings. Didn`t find a basic vs
standard setting in my account settings, either. It`s something
external, like an account setting (not exposed in those you can see)
instead of a service setting.
Considering how most users are visiting using a JavaScript capable web
browser, how many are using the basic view? I can`t even get logged in
without Javascript enabled. Seems the change would affect few users.
