>both have a button to disable all javascript on a page

Be slightly careful, there's a known issue (limitation of Chrome really) where requests and javascript are not blocked in the first few seconds of launching a browser or an incognito window (you can test this yourself). And this is true even with "Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded" enabled, because I think it's some limitation on Chrome as to when exactly extensions get loaded.

So if you do rely on javascript being disabled for safety, after a fresh launch or new incognito window, you should visit a safe webpage first before going to the risky one.

I'm going to just read "limitation on Chrome" as "purposely defective by design" as there's sufficient incentive to delay disabling to let a few telemetric squeaks escape.

Just switch to a browser that respects user privacy. With NoScript you can fine tune which domains you'll accept scripts from when the zero-JS experience isn't usable.
