JS is not the only attack surface in a browser. There have been exploitable bugs in image parsers, font renderers, etc. Tracking is possible without JS as well.

Maybe try lynx?

I'd assume Chrome is safer than Lynx these days, to be honest.

Not to mention the fact that using Lynx makes you unique enough for it to be a useful tracking indicator.

Or just use VPS when surfing the web.

Or surf from a VM on your machine.

I used to do this on linux, as I had copies of my windows VM and I would just browse from the windows box on another screen and then work from the linux one on the main screen

Yes! I meant VM. I was just setting up some VPS and mistyped it.
