A site that renders completely blank without JavaScript is a site that I don't enable JavaScript for. They don't want me to view it, and nine times out of ten I can find the information elsewhere.

A pious stance, for sure.

Yet I'm convinced you probably do enable js for various payment portals and govt/financial websites, and they often tend to go blank or loop out far more than the average site.

Apart from carefully cultivating a working noscript over years, the simplest solution may be to use a different browser for these sorts of interactions.

Reminds me to backup my whitelist. It's actually quite valuable.

On the other hand, I would hope that government and banking sites don't use ads and tracking cookies.

Maybe less frustrating than a site that works, and then doesn't. Like a checkout path with a hard dependency near the end.
