Wish more was said about how this makes the author's life better. Seems to me that most websites would break in small ways without JS, which would be really annoying to deal with.


I’m not really even sure what Private Browsing isn’t enough for the author’s use case. It does pretty much everything they need like revolving around cookies and local data.

I guess they just want to disable JavaScript, because that proves you’re a smart computer nerd, or something.

Disabling JavaScript is like the computer version of fasting.


An important caveat of private mode in firefox is that you can't use service workers, so any app depending on those would break.

And enabling it is like deep frying all your food ;^).
