      Yes, it’s powerful but it has downsides. Why pay for processing when you can just have the end-user do it? I just disallow all JavaScript and give permissions to sites one by one.

      A lot of it is for tracking anyways and now most sites use it for styling and animations meaning it’s unusable without allowing JS. Of course I use JS, it’s useful and powerful but in the wrong hands it’s dangerous and no matter what website you go to the JS is ran automatically. Maybe your AV might catch it but that also requires $$ that most personal end users don’t spend.
