I use uBlock origin with JavaScript disabled by default.
You can set a shortcut to enable JavaScript (“Relax blocking mode”, cmd-J for me. I don’t remember whether that was the default.)
You can persist enabled JavaScript for the current domain for the future.
I find that with JavaScript enabled on some 20 websites, the rest of the web works pretty well with the occasional cmd-J in case it doesn’t.
On mobile I haven’t found a good way to do it. Brave browser makes it easiest to enable/disable JS on the current page, among the ones I tested.
- toastal 4y agoThere are annoyances. 1) many sites can't even be bothered with a basic noscript or it was the default message from some “starter” app rather than something meaningful/descriptive 2) basic sites like blogs are putting their image loading behind JavaScript for no reason (unless they or WordPress plugin developers aren't aware of <img loading="lazy">) 3) too many folks are relying on third-party CDNs and client-side parsing for something that should obviously had been done at build time like code syntax highlighting and rendering LaTeX (almost every ‘modern’ docs project fails this so our tech industry fails here).
