I just disabled Javascript and Google still works fine. It might be only Google's mobile site that requires it.
Could very well be a mobile thing. I was pretty annoyed recently when logging into gcal for work on my phone, it refused to let me sign in without giving them my cell phone number. When I switched to wifi, it stopped bugging me, so clearly they pay attention to that sort of signal.

I also use Mojeek when I want a (serious) different set of results that I'm not getting from those pulling from google, bing, etc. It's not the best but it's getting better over time.

If you ever need a search engine without JavaScript or https, give http://frogfind.com/ a try. Works great on ancient browsers and operating systems.

Can't tell if because of spyware or because the poor intern they hired to maintain the site for the next month only knows JS frontends lol
Oof ouch my Lynx.

Who uses the internet without JavaScript? Must have so many broken websites
