I have been browsing the web without Javascript enabled since 2006. The worst is that once in a while you will click on a link to read some text, but arrive at a completely blank page. Many times this can be solved by disabling CSS for that page or using the Google cache, but it's still annoying.

I my view requiring Javascript just to display text or pictures is completely brain-dead, web "designers" that think this is a good idea should probably no be allowed to design anything. It also makes it hard for disabled people that rely on accessibility tools to use the web.

I don't expect "web apps" like a video player to work without Javascript, but basic things like reading text, viewing pictures or clicking on links should never depend on it.

I use ublock origin with chrome.

Do I understand correctly that the simple tool to block javascript (noscript) is not available on chrome ?

I'd like to disable javascript but the non-noscript recipes seem very complex ...

Chrome allows you to enable/disable javascript on a per domain basis. It's not an extension or very flexible but I've found it useful for most situations e.g whitelisting js for my bank website.

Try uMatrix. It's available on both Firefox and Chrome, and I actually like it better than NoScript.
