Was just browsing the Internet in a VM with script-blockers turned off for a bit, and half the sites were like "IT PUTS THE DATA IN THE BASKET OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!" with multiple videos, dozens of ads and and 99 pieces of third-party Javascript loading in the background. The amount of advertiser profiling and data sharing that goes on when you visit these noisy sites with a mobile device is even higher and more invasive, which might explain why I do most of my web browsing inside a VM (but with script blockers turned on).

i occasionally use a script blocker on my mobile devices but not enough and it makes me feel ashamed.

on desktop workstations my default "i clicked a link" handler is "Opener.app" (got it via #setapp) which presents a menu of browsers and flags, and first choice is a browser with no javascript enabled so i can make an informed decision about witnessing it in all its glory. in safari you can use profiles and extensions like 1blocker, etc.
