What?  What makes it "illegal" to stop it?  Just block JS (and by
extension wasm) by default and enable only on sites you trust.  I don't
allow JS by default, and on most sites I only let it run for the
duration I'm on the site.  Only trusted sites get to run JS in my
browser.  Untrusted JS sources get a permanent JS ban no matter what
site I'm on.

Yes this makes most sites appear "broken", but I ignore most
JS-dependent sites anyway (they rarely have anything interesting to
offer, the JS is usually for eye-candy only, or paywalls, adware, or
malware -- if they don't have non-JS HTML with actual content, they're
rarely worth my attention).  Unless it's a trusted site or the JS
actually offers something beyond just eye-candy / adware / other useless
fluff.
