I’m currently testing just outright blocking all scripts through uBO, and to be honest it is not usable. I will use it for a little longer, then for sure disable it. A lot of websites just refuse to load (thanks, SPAs), and those that do often have little interactions that break, thus making the pages hard to use or even outright unusable.

To give some examples for those that haven’t tried this: images may refuse to load (js based lazy load implementation), dropdown menus almost never work, search option usually doesn’t work (and if it does it’s only because it goes to a different page, which is fair), comments probably won’t show up, pretty much anything “live” won’t work. Oh and let’s not forget the captchas and all the proof-of-work blockers.

For me the only really interesting part about this experience is that imgur refuses to load, even if you have a direct link to an image.
