Basic or no, It’s still good advise to get and to heed. I did some consulting work on a large web-based “Outlook” application, after the original devs had already got the major thrust of the site working. The application is completely dependent on Javascript, instead of simply being enhanced by it. Luckily it could be considered an “extranet” so some environment requirements could be imposed on the people using it, but it made me wonder how many developers who include Ajaxian techniques in their front -end do in fact take the time needed to plan the site out in “analog” first, before jumping into the scripting.

Why use a different webbrowser? Just choose “no style” in the submeny “page style” in the “view”-menu in Firefox – don’t know if that’s the exact words because my FF is swedish…

This is really “basics of web dev”
Using JavaScript in an unobtrusive way is first of all a design thing and SEO is a nice side effect. I agrre with Gaz Elms’s opinion regarding Rich McIver’s findings.

Isn’t this just a list of basics?

If you want maximum reach your website needs to work without javascript, without style, without images and with accessible markup.
