    I’ve gone to disabling JS by default, and only whitelisting sites that I want. It’s made things much simpler for me.

      I thought of it too, but that way I should whitelist a lot of sites which doesn’t load readable w/o js, a lot of sites I randomly visit just one time ever for one random thing. Would make my workflow just slower.

      Did you encounter a lot of broken by default sites w/o js? Or is it bearable? I could make the switch too.

        I find some sites like that, but for the most part, if not having JS breaks the site, then I just move on. It’s very rare that there is only one website where I can find the information that I need.

        I also have it set up so that it’s just one button to re-enable JS, so it’s quick and easy to turn on if I decide to do so.

        Is there a viable way to block only unnecessary js, while loading the minimum necessary to properly render the sites?

          Not that I am aware of. I mean, I use no-script “capabilities” filters which disables eg objects, frames, fetch, webgl, fonts and other stuff, but I don’t know any “intelligent” addon which understand what a script does and if it can be disabled without any harm to site functioning. I don’t really think anything like that exists.
