  Why? The amount of npm dependencies has little to do with why you disable javascript by default. Do you really care if some website uses a dependency from npm or some copy pasted code ? What does it change for you as an user?

    tons of websites have trash performance with javascript enabled and it certainly isn't just adbloat or tracking, altough that contributes a lot e.g. web players are a nice example, on couple sites was about to sort out native html5 player in 40 lines of javascript, while they use 100+kB libraries for whatever reason and i am not even talking about HLS streaming or anything like that here, just pulling mp4 file

      It's another thing that may be an issue, but is it? My smartphone runs these bloated players just fine.
