Have you done that on "modern" websites?

Sometimes, yes. I don't really find it necessary. A lot of the things I don't want to see on the web I handle by using an ad blocker.

I know how to fix 99% of the problems that come up when you disable css/javascript, but it's not easy and is a huge time-sink.

Most users turn off js, notice their favorite site broke, and conclude "if I disable js it breaks the sites I care about".

I don't know about you, but most of the web applications online don't work without JS. Coupled with the fact that more and more applications are being moved online, I find that hard to say that users can simply turn JS off.

It's still a choice. I know this might be hard for people to believe, but there's still a lot of people that live their lives without internet and they can still do all the things necessary to live their life.

If you want to use a web application, then yeah, you probably need to allow the web browser to run JS because it enables those things to exist.

That's not a choice.
