Exactly, this is 2022. I used to be one of those types running Firefox (since the late 90s) with NoScript and other extensions to have 100% ultimate control over who and who could not run JavaScript.
It's ubiquitous now, it's sandboxed, it's safe and extremely performant.
There's no reason to go backwards now.

All that “log every single mouse movement and send it as some analytics continuously while we load 55 new ads and 10 new fonts” would probably give a hard time for Qt with c++ as well.
