"I don't have the time or energy to block JavaScript and/or manually inspect each domain's requests to figure out if they use server-side tracking or not."

By default, I don't run JavaScript. I don't see blocking JS as a problem - in fact, it's a blessing as the web is blinding fast without it - and also most of the ads just simply disappear if JS is not running.

On occasions when I need JS (only about 3-5% of sites) it's just a matter of toggling it on and refreshing the page. I've been working this way for at least 15 years - that's when I first realized JS was ruining my web experience.

I'm now so spoilt by the advantages of the non-JS world that I don't think I could ever return. I'm always acutely reminded of the fact whenever I use someone else's machine.
