With Javascript enabled, the AA menu buttons don't seem to be displayed at
all, so I don't understand what the purpose of those is.
The point is more that with javascript disabled, the buttons are displayed and
nonfunctional.
There are also the disappointingly common placeholder characters in
various place, for example to the left of each item in the "Socialize"
menu. These look like this:
<li class="tier-2 element-1" role="treeitem"><a href="
http://plus.google.com/+Python";><span aria-hidden="true"
class="icon-google-plus"></span>Google+</a></li>
I don't know what you mean. Are you saying that you see unrendered HTML to
the left of the items? All I see are icons.
Along with javascript, the NoScript extension blocks various untrusted objects.
Those icons come from a loadable font, which was blocked. If I allow the font
to load I get icons. You can imagine the abuse a font load can be used for,
such as "I can't unsee that!" icon characters or better still, character
transliteration for malicious purpose (we rely on the visual appearance of
glyphs to be what we expect).
