> DOES THE CORPORATE FIREWALL BLOCK JAVASCRIPT?

Maybe a silly question, but can this still happen with HTTPS? Or is this referring to a corporate proxy?

Corporate proxies and SSL inspection (MITM) are still very much prevalent but you're targeting a pretty niche user base if you're looking at ones that do this and outright block JS.
I'm sorry but you have to draw a line somewhere. Unless you are a massive corporation there simply isn't the manpower available at most places to accomplish a JS and non-JS version of your site/app.

I'll admit I'm coming at this 100% from the webapp angle. No project manager is going to sign off on that work NOR SHOULD THEY in 99% of cases.

You do not need both a JS and non-JS version. 90% of websites do not need to be fully in JS; the few interactive elements can be achieved with some vanilla JS added on top (that will degrade gracefully if not loaded, as the base content is still HTML).
Ok but what the heck is that font?
>DO THEY HAVE ADDONS OR PLUGINS INSTALLED WHICH INJECT SCRIPT OR ALTER THE DOM IN WAYS YOU DIDN'T ANTICIPATE?

Every news site has an answer to this.
