I use Brave for Android for this reason. It's great!

I should try it on my beefy Windows laptop, too. Browsing with JavaScript and ads makes my CPU go insane.

What a tangled web we've woven.

How is Brave relevant to no javascript on mobile (or otherwise)? Any more than any other browser.

For no ads (not that Brave actually blocks all ads. It’s good but not great), there’s different ways to accomplish that on mobile.

Brave allows you to block scripts with 2 taps [0]. I can't even count how many taps it takes on Chrome for Android--at least 6, then you have to type in the URL, etc. [1] And Google's own help site doesn't explain how--hmm, I wonder why.
