Many sites do not work with javascript disabled. This has been problem for decades.

This is not any different.



That Firefox setting doesn't disable Javascript. I use it on a Firefox fork for Android and about the only noticeable difference I've seen is sites aren't given the `prefers-color-scheme` value, so dark themes can't be auto detected.


It also does a few other things, such as reporting your timezone as UTC instead of the real value. It’s an attempt to reduce the number of things that sites can use to distinguish you from other users.
