uBlock does this occasionally as well. Still worth it.

Then just put those sites on your trust list?

You can go through all the sites the initial HTTP request calls out to and decide which ones get a pass. This is how I ensure sites like gstatic, googletagmanager, etc. don't collect data even though the rest of the site works.

If that's too much, just open the flood gates for that site and trust everything there. At least it isn't just sending all your data out by DEFAULT.

Yeah these days literally every website uses JavaScript in some format as modern reactive design is easier to do if you can execute client side code. Blocking JavaScript is a sledgehammer solution to the problem.

Same here. I used NoScript in the past and remembering whitelisting way too often so dumped it in the end. Now I just use uBlock with I think some built-in javascript block of known bad hosts.
