On an untrusted site, where the content is readily available in the source view? No thanks, malware and other cryptominers are still a thing.

I've been browsing some website with js disabled and I must say, when it doesn't completely break a website (ex. website with paywalls or relying heavily on dynamic content), it feels like a much better version of the web. No flashy pop-ups, no randomly reloading content, no video ads every 2 paragraph, no banners(!).

Wouldn't say malware and js cryptominers are a big worry of mine though, unless you go on really disreputable websites.

useless use of js is a thing
