But if the website requires JS to even load the content, then it doesn't matter what the user's intent is. And it's easy to say "just close the tab" until you really need that content.
This sounds great in theory, but I tried this for a while and got really frustrated at just how often I had to enable JS for a specific site/page because it was broken, sometimes in non-obvious ways (e.g. some interactions work but others rely on JS). For me at least, it wasn't worth it, but YMMV depending on how you use the web and your tolerance for this kind of thing.
