Removal of old JavaScript

This fork uses downsized/simplified versions of scripts and has no support for Internet Explorer.

The result is faster and smaller download code (good for mobile networks).

Things might work in Edge 18, Firefox 50-62 and Chrome 54-68 due to one polyfill for array.flat().

  • Removed polyfills
  • Removed Modernizr
  • Removed nanoscroll

  • Removed momentjs (localization still used)
  • Removed opentip (use CSS)
  • Replaced Autolinker with simple https/email detection
  • Replaced ifvisible.js with simple drop-in replacement
