I use uMatrix and set javascript to off by default. I also set _all access_ off by default. Direct access, cookies, CSS, images, media, javascript, cross-site requests, frames, "other" such as webgl. They're all off-by-default. The direct connection prevents me from going to a site with a homonym url (such as g00gle.com). I turn each thing on one-at-a-time until the site works enough for me. 80% of the time, _nothing_ is needed other than the connection to download html. Plenty of sites' text show up just fine and is perfectly legible without any CSS, images, or javascript. Sometimes a site will talk about image content. Then I'll enable images and CSS. 95% of sites work like that just fine. The last 5%? Usually they work with javascript and without cookies. I rarely go that far. Those last 5% sites rarely bring true value with their use of javascript. Then there's the last .1% of sites that "need" the whole shebang. Those shites are rarely encountered.
