You'd be surprised at how many websites work just fine with JS disabled, at least in terms of providing the content you want. Menus/navigation might not work, and I wouldn't even attempt online shopping without JS, but enough websites still manage to display basic text and images without JS that it's a surprising annoyance when they fail to.
Sticking out like a sore thumb isn't a problem as long as you look like a different person's sore thumb to the next website.

Being consistently unique is okay as long as the tracking party is simply generating programmatic hashes. But if you're always unique, but in a specific way, it doesn't matter. The total amount of entropy matters. > I wouldn't even attempt online shopping without JS, So, a nonstarter for basically all normal internet users.
- pmontra 2y agoAll of Amazon.com works with their adsystem domain disabled by uMatrix. Only about half of their almost 100 js files are needed to browse products.
- mywittyname 2y agoI get by using no-script universally and it's rare that I need to allow JS for more than 2-3 domains to get a site fully functional. Usually it's limited to site, and site-cdn.
- autoexec 2y agoIt's also nice that with no-script and uBlock origin that it only takes a couple clicks to whitelist something and even then you only need to do it once and it can remember it for the next time. You can also use add-ons like LocalCDN so that a lot of commonly used JS can be used without a remote connection.
