One logo, one input field, one button, nothing requires JS. They could have kept a simple solution for disabled people but they don’t even care about that.

Search suggestions require JS. Also, why would Google spend the resources supporting the 5 people that block JS when virtually all websites and users rely on JS. This is a nothingburger of a story.

You are vastly underestimating the popularity of uBlock Origin’s JS blocking feature.

the 5 people

i dont think there are only five guys disabling JS on google search, but just by noscript without exceptions, it’s only 200k on firefox… but who would use evil chromium today?
