JavaScript, that once promised to be so useful, has become the tool of choice for the wonderful surveillance dystopia we live in...

A year ago, I tried for a few months to use the Web without any JavaScript running. If it was fine on a few selected (and, unsurprisingly, privacy respecting websites) it was... close to impossible everywhere else, including state/government/public services websites. That's the first thing I would want to change if we were to take back some control/privacy: official/public services should not rely on privacy invasive tools.

    For general use, it's almost impossible, but I found it very doable to have a browser without js in the phone, for reading stuff. Turns out most news and informational sites are readable without js.
