[Lazarus] Lazarus 1.4 review

This website seems a bit weird. I went to have a look at the article and 
the page was blank. Now I always uses the excellent "noscript" to 
protect me from some of more nasty aspects of the internet and this was 
clearly blocking something. Looking at the HTML, comes up with things like:

<noscript><iframe src="//www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-TH9X6K"
height="0" width="0" 
style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>

I don't like the look of zero size I-frames. They are rarely for the 
benefit of the user especially when in a "noscript" tag, there is no 
probability of the size ever changing. The page also links to lots of 
javascript.

It seems like the author does not want us to view the site unless we let 
javascript run. Why? Sorry, but I am a bit paranoid when it comes to web 
security.
