I use Brave as my primary mobile browser because it allows me to have JavaScript disabled but trivially enable it when I need it. The experience is massively better – on LTE the average page load is under a second except maybe for a video or lots of images, and you avoid all of the user-hostile pop-ups, app nags, etc.

(I subscribe to most of the sites which I read regularly so I don't feel guilty about blocking ads but I really hope someone successfully makes a Google Contributor-style network where a trusted browser serves only static image/text ads, as much resistance as that will trigger)
