You should use uMatrix so you can only enable the scripts necessary to unbreak the site

Or uBlock origin (from the same author) which is still maintained

It is maintained but the UI for dealing with JS is horribly time consuming and overly complex compared to uMatrix. I'll never really understood it and I keep using uMatrix on my laptop. I switched to NoScript on my phone. Maybe I can install uMatrix now if Mozilla really unblocked many extensions. If uMatrix stops working, I'll switch to NoScript everywhere for JS and uBO for all the other issues.

This is what I do and it works great - uBlock Origin defaults, and NoScript.

It’s surprising how well the internet works without JavaScript.

I've never used uMatrix what can uMatrix do what uBlock can't? I have set all sites to no js, and if something does not work I click the JS toggle in the menu, reload the page and thats it.

And yes uMatrix should work on Firefox on Android. ( At least it is installable)

I use NoScript for this as well, I’ll have to check out uMatrix.
