It’s crazy that you’re being downvoted. I guess they avoid The Atlantic, etc. as well, despite the helpful info in such articles.
Disable JavaScript, that will make you bypass this.

You have JavaScript enabled by default ?

Doing so would break nearly all Internet access. Do you really run a whitelist rather than a blacklist? Is it not tedious to add hundreds of domains to one rather than a few to the other?

I actually do this. With uBlock Origin you can set to default block any JS (or just 3rd party JS) and then whitelist by domains. Then you can lock in per-site settings.

I would feel like wading through sewer bare footed if I had all javascript enabled by default

I run a whitelist. I’d rather be more private than know what to blacklist (and there’s often a lot of extra JavaScript that gets called, mostly for tracking).
It’s not that tedious. You just add as you use the internet. Refresh the page when you’ve whitelisted.

I do ! I use NoScript in Firefox, and I allow scripts selectively when they’re needed. You’d be surprised how many websites just work with everything off !
This may differ depending on your usage, though. I don’t really use in-browser apps if at all possible, and I don’t use conventional social media aside from YouTube and Reddit (PeerTube and Lemmy are better but there’s still too much info / people on the corporate versions to fully switch over)

That’s a weird question. That ‘yes’ seems as easy as “do you wear your seat belt? Every TIME?!?”
After about a dozen you’re kinda set. I will enable one-offs in a private window, usually for shit news sites or the very occasional referral farm, and the exceptions are all reverted when I close the tab.

Off by default already.
