I use a Chrome extension called "Quick Javascript Switcher". If you click the icon in the bar, it switches JS off/on for the domain - using Chrome's built-in allow/block list for JS.
I honestly could not live without it. At this point I have pretty much every news and recipe site on the internet blocked. Visiting a new site, as soon as I hear my fan spinning up I reach for the "no-JS" button and the page suddenly becomes responsive again.
I'm not quite to the "no JS as default" level but I'm close.
- Rivosa 6y agoGenuine question: Why use Chrome? Google themselves admited they are an ad company rather than a search engine company. Why use a browser by a company where their main revenues are ads.
- stickfigure 6y agoI don't care? Of all the evils in the world, I just don't think advertising warrants much concern. I am tempted to use Firefox more to avoid browser monoculture. But Chrome pretty much just works.
