> Can't this be done with Javascript?

I welcome opportunities to avoid javascript in my sites, even if it's more work for me. It makes life easy for visitors who prefer to disable javascript, thereby avoiding many of the exploits, trackers, etc. that plague the web today.

By the same token, I appreciate sites that do not require javascript.

Is there a future where CSS’ expanding surface area leads to exploits and tracking? For instance, some time ago I saw an article about how font face rules can be used to fingerprint users

Honest question. Is really "animations" a thing related with styling?

IMHO, I see all those bells & whistles more related to scripting than to styling. I'd prefer to be able to navigate with Javascript disabled and not having to suffer some superfluous animations, but maintain the styles.
