Actually, this is not correct.
I have gotten this duplicated by google accessibility staff. In fact
Google stated in an article recently that since only crooks turn off
JavaScript, they will not allow anyone to sign into their gmail account
without JavaScript.
When I requested answers for accessibility reasons, one staff member
duplicated the issue using elinks, and told me that it was because Google
did not consider elinks to use the "right" kind of JavaScript.
Later, a different staff member who normally uses links reported that they
too could no longer reach basic html using the browser.
This is not a client issue, as I am going directly to google for my gmail
reading.

The Thunderbird story is interesting because prior to now I could use
elinks and links, which both can incorporate JavaScript to reach my

They no longer allow it though because google claims it is not the
right kind of JavaScript. Generally speaking I too would love
learning how this is done.
This has to depend on something in your client. Google cannot, after
all, observe anything about your client except its network behaviour;
something is provoking different network behaviour - or, possibly, your
client's blind trust in the JS Google is sending it is causing it to
refuse you locally without exhibiting _any_ network behaviour.
My guess would be that your JS implementation includes some kind of
"this is what sort of implementation I am" string, which Google is
asking it to send back - or, more stupidly but in my estimation a
little more likely, is checking somewhere in the JS code it sends to
you. Learning details (without help from Google, which help I doubt
would be forthcoming) would probably require inspecting the JS it sends
and/or snooping the cleartext of the communication. Neither one sounds
trivial to me, though.
