Or you know, just block JS.

Congratulations, you just broke 90% of the modern web. Might as well go directly to Gopher.
A bit of selective whitelisting with umatrix keeps everything functional while massively helping with privacy.
Use RSS.

The modern Web is a tracking system.

Congratualations on never actually bothering to block JS and find out - you know, facts. From actually doing so over many years, and so from actual experience I'd say completely non-functinal sites are about 25%.
I’d put the number quite a bit lower than that, probably comfortably under 10% of sites I interact with, though the trend is definitely upwards, drastically so among interactive things (which are probably worse than 50% broken these days).
