Somehow this strikes me as a bad idea, but I honestly haven't thought
through how it could be used for malicious purposes yet...

Via Google Operating System.

If you disable JavaScript in your browser, you'll notice that the
recently updated Google.com doesn't have too many navigational links
anymore. That's because the menu from the top left corner is written
entirely in JavaScript.

Google, that usually writes pages with graceful degradation in mind and
builds custom interfaces that don't require JavaScript (Google Maps,
Gmail), forgot about the browsers that don't support JavaScript (text
browsers, some mobile browsers) and the users that have JavaScript
turned off for its biggest assets: the homepage and the search results
pages.
