Not to be rude, but honestly can you view anything with JavaScript disabled anymore? I don’t exactly blame the website.

A very large amount of websites can be used without JS.

Microsoft have stopped giving a damn a long time ago, and require JS from a dozen domains just to display a bunch of text documentation.

They're definitely worse than your average JS-only website.

If you're genuinely curious, then I highly encourage you to try it out. For me, I can view almost everything I want and am much happier with javascript disabled by default and enabled only when needed.

Does it help you bypass paywalls? Asking for a friend.

Why on earth should you give every document you open arbitrary code execution rights?
