And this is why if blocking the "web"site JavaScript breaks the "web"site itself, then it never was a website to start with!
(Trackers using these kinds of tactics was only a matter of time between trackers and blockers...)
How I wish the problem were only breaking the "web" - these days, blocking tracking scripts on my router ends up breaking my desktop applications...
(Example of the day, Parsec; example from yesterday, NVidia's driver-update software :( )
I'm not trying to be overly cynical here, all of these topics remind me of high school when I'd download mildly-sketchy executables, decompile them, and try figure out whether or not they were safe to run. I would love to poke around with reverse engineering wasm, but I'd rather not have to do that every time I visit a new website.
