After disabling js I get a blank page in Firefox. Is that right? CBA to decipher the source or work out how to disable js in Chromium.

I disabled it with 4 taps in uBlock Origin, Firefox Android. Open menu, Add-ons, uBlock Origin, the JavaScript icon. Then another tap to reload the page, the back button and the site did show.

Fair enough. For me, using the "Toggle js on and off" extension on Firefox 83.0 on Ubuntu, I see a blank page.

The reason you see a blank page is because the website wraps content into a <noscript> tag and by "disabling javascript" it wants you to render <noscript> content, not actually disable javascript. But it's a bad idea in practice. Most websites work better out of the box if you disable javascript, but not render <noscript>, and also disable CSS, and inject some custom style to fix size of embedded icons. I'm not sure if there is a public extension that does that though.

I really don't think that's true. For one thing, anything beyond static content sites are just not going to work. And even content sites could well be unusable without their layout CSS. I really don't see the point in subjecting oneself to such hassle.

I would suggest that most websites work better if you have javascript and CSS enabled, since that's what they were designed for, but use an ad blocker like uBlock matrix to remove the ads.
