Analysis of users browsing with JavaScript turned off
Posted January 23rd, 2008 by ottodv
To determine how to best handle noscript users for dynamic banners I figured we needed some data on the users browsing with JavaScript turned off. Read the full post
I tried to post the full report here but only the first two paragraphs appeared.

This helps
I'm very glad to hear that "noscript" works not only for old browsers, but also for modern browsers with scripts disabled. This data really helps with my current dynamic banner prototype, since we have to take into account users who restrict Javascript. I will certainly update my prototype accordingly.
Based on your results, it looks like dynamic banners should be geared toward IE users if scripts are disabled. Even though script disabling is probably more frequent among Firefox users, it looks like IE's dominant market share still results in more "noscript" views by IE users. Additional sources would be helpful to verify your data, but I'll trust it for now.
