Doesn't run when JavaScript is disabled #302

What is the problem?

Violentmonkey doesn't seem to run userscripts when JavaScript is disabled for a site, for example, by using an addon such as uMatrix or NoScript to disable JavaScript. Being able to run userscripts even when JavaScript was disabled on a site is an essential use-case for me. It was one of the strengths of the old Greasemonkey that it could do this reliably.

How to reproduce it?

  1. Install Violentmonkey and uMatrix.
  2. Install a userscript for a site.
  3. Disable JavaScript for that site.
  4. Visit a site where the userscript should be active.
  5. Notice that the userscript is not run.
  6. Enable JavaScript for that site
  7. Visit the same site again.
  8. Notice that the userscript is now run.

This is not compatible with the old Greasemonkey.

What is the expected result?

VM should run userscripts even when JavaScript is disabled. This would make it compatible with the old Greasemonkey.

What is the actual result?

Userscripts don't work when JavaScript is disabled.
