What?  What makes it "illegal" to stop it?  Just block JS (and by extension wasm) by default and enable only on sites you trust.  I don't allow JS by default, and on most sites I only let it run for the duration I'm on the site.  Only trusted sites get to run JS in my browser.  Untrusted JS sources get a permanent JS ban no matter what site I'm on.

Yes this makes most sites appear "broken", but I ignore most JS-dependent sites anyway (they rarely have anything interesting to offer, the JS is usually for eye-candy only, or paywalls, adware, or malware -- if they don't have non-JS HTML with actual content, they're rarely worth my attention).  Unless it's a trusted site or the JS actually offers something beyond just eye-candy / adware / other useless fluff.

I am a zoomer, so can't really watch this. Is there a YouTube Shorts version?
