I keep trying to live without JS but so little of the internet works.
* Gitlab/Github (obviously)
* Google maps (obviously)
* Linkedin... (uh... less obviously)
* Outlook
* Infoq.com
* Rust docs
* Google Cloud Docs
etc;
A lot of the internet is butchered without JS.
I really want a way of just blocking third-party JS (IE; the site can deliver JS, but not anything it tries to import unless whitelisted). But that seems to be hard with qutebrowser.
Perhaps I did not express it clearly, but I do not browse WITHOUT ANY JAVASCRIPT EVER. I browse with js disabled by default, but enable it (using excellent uMatrix Firefox addon) for certain sites that I trust. Although even then I try to find the least possible amount of uMatrix permissions that enables the functionality I need from a site.
That said, I do not use many of the obvious mainstream sites - e.g. I ditched Github like dirty socks the moment Microsoft grabbed them.
But yes, modern web (not the Internet, mind you) is very damaged, and I fear it will take decades to fix the damage, once (I hope) smarter people take the reins after high-visibility security and privacy incidents become more and more frequent, and, well, more visible to general public.
I use noScript with "Allow None by Default" on Firefox while I'm at work and should in theory only be browsing docs anyway. Trying to blanket ban third-party JS wouldn't really work b/c many sites have their legitimate JS on various CDNs. After enabling individual scripts on maybe a dozen sites I'm in good shape when it comes to web browsing day to day.
