How about just whitelist the good guys?

  That's what I do on Android, except I use Brave instead of Chrome/Firefox. I change the default settings to block all JavaScript by default, and then use the Brave button to whitelist sites I trust and actually want to use. Browsing the web (especially news sites) on my Android has gone from "a complete nightmare" to "tolerable" because of this.

    Me too. Brave gave me back the ability to browse the web on mobile. Now if I could just force pages to load in Brave instead of web view, that'd be amazing. Related tip: if you open the Google app, menu -> settings -> Accounts & privacy -> disable Open web pages in the Google app, that will fix it for google now links.

    Same approach, but I prefer firefox beta + noscript, which allows more fine-grained control (so I can permanently or temporarily enable js from e.g. reddit.com and redditstatic.com, but not googletagservices, amazon-adsystem, etc. .. on the same page.)

    You should try Naked Browser (or NB Pro , their paid app with some extra features). I have been using it for close to 6 years and it is awesome :-) In my opinion it has one of the simplest and nicest UI with features like script blocking. [Disclaimer: I am not associated with the developer in any way]. Ad blocking is sorely missing though.
