MODERATORS
15-20 years ago, I'd have agreed with you. But apart from a select few news sites and exceedingly rare static sites, what percentage of websites most users use day to day actually function even minimally without JavaScript?
I'm convinced that in practice, most users would be conditioned to whitelist pretty much every site they visit due to all the breakage. Still a privacy and security improvement, but a massive one? I'm not sure.
Very happy to be convinced otherwise.
Tried and can confirm almost every webpage even static ones which could be simple as rock needs truckload of bloat js code to be loaded from ext servers.
