Said it on a top-level comment as well, but I use “medium mode” on uBlock (weirdly not advertised, but easy enough to enable: https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode). I’ve found it to be a good middle ground between expert mode which is basically noscript, and rawdogging it.

If I encounter a site that I can’t visit unless I enable JS, then I leave.
