This says it's not enough to ban JavaScript: we also have to ban CSS.
- The Internet was a mistake.
  
  The www in particular
reminds me of the guy that made a video in excel with cells as pixels... i enjoy the flex, but damn
- About 20 years ago I made a script that converts pictures to HTML tables. Back then RAM was a severe problem for this, and even for more powerful hardware browsers tended to just crash on larger pictures.
  
  I checked it again a few years later, and things looked way better. I guess using CSS it'd be rather trivial nowadays to do the same with a short video by just cycling through showing/hiding tables of each frame.
  
  the “new” hotness is grid layout
- I remember that too but it's been so long I can't remember if I dreamed it up. Do you happen to have the video/link?

It's a fairly common thing on onion websites, especially those who offer real-time interaction (e.g. some onion web-chats), they use this Transfer-Encoding: chunked method for fetching messages and content because JS is often discouraged and sometimes automatically blocked by onion-enabled navigators while surfing DW. HTML Forms with submit buttons are also used for this kind of interaction.
What's wrong with forms?
