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

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

  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.

      Agree but you can usually block such things perfectly fine on govt websites without losing any functionality whatsoever.
