Hmm, that's odd! For me, that fades after it has loaded and brings up the annual report.

False alarm - it may be the restricted network I'm on since Chrome's developer tools shows that the jquery.min.js would not download from Google's website.

That makes sense, but it's still odd that they wouldn't have any sort of a fallback.

The GGP comment is already deleted, but I see mention of a .js dependency. If JS is not loading/running and you can't view the page, just disable all stylesheets.

(I hate this kind of formatting BS...)

I deleted my original posting since it was a fault on my setup and not the website itself. (The posting was a mistake and was not meant to take away from the efforts of those who developed the website.)

Maybe my original comment is over-reaction. But, I hate scripting dependencies for straight-forward reading content.

My primary concern is security. Second, privacy (I disable tracking devices).

I also don't like what I often find to be pointless design, but that I guess is a matter of opinion.

Anyway... I was running Noscript, and I saw an unscrollable page with a bit of text and a background color. Turned off stylesheets and, voilà, content.
