It's trivial to bypass. I just hit the Stop button before the JavaScript finishes loading, but private tabs, reader mode, etc. should also work.

Reader mode doesn't seem to work any more on NYT articles.

It works for me in Safari.

Sometimes the trick is to tell Safari to always use reader mode for this domain, and then it kicks in before the JavaScript messes with the content

uBlock Origin also has a "disable JavaScript" button - I simply press that and reload.
