That's my exp too. Esp with the endless pop-overs like "We share your data with our 5 million partners! Unless you dig through 45 pages of opt out checkmarks, b/c fuck you". 95% of the time, disallow JS bypasses those.
Also tho, some important sites flat don't work with js disabled. I hate that. I get it. There are some things where js is necessary. But it's like 2% good things plus 98% fuckery.
Yeah for those sites I just enable the bare minimum on Noscript. It is good tech support for family to set them up with a simple button to enable a disabled by default Javascript browser. Like Brave or Helium. Keeps them from going to random websites that are malicious.
