That is indeed an odd claim.
I did some digging, the change to require javascript was announced on the Google security blog here:
— https://security.googleblog.com/2018/10/announcing-some-security-treats-to.html
So very likely it does actually relate to security, although they do not paint a picture as to how :) maybe something to do with rejecting attempts by bots to guess your password.

indeed, maybe. i used some non-js sites fine before they started to use cloudflare. then i had to enable js for cloudflare checks to work.
🐙 norayr [OP] · 2023-07-26 at 13:48:
but yes, that wouldn't make the connection more secure. that's just the server can use cloudflare (another centralized entity that gathers data) to check for bots.
