Is there a NoScript equivalent for Chrome on Android?

Yes, it's built into the browser.

First, go to "Site settings" and disable it globally.

To make a site-wide exception, click on the icon in the address bar and enable it for the site there.

It used to be crippled and unusable, but they fixed it recently.

I also recommend Bromite on Android.

But there's nothing on this site once you do disable JavaScript. I was hoping for a 2020 take on a server-side rendered web app.

I see what you did there.... In other news, possibly the best designed website of 2020: http://www.muskfoundation.org/

Doesn’t work with https, which i guess shouldn’t surprise me given it’s sparse nature.

So running untrusted code on your computer is a bad thing. Well, it should be in a sandbox, but that has many intentional and proably some less intentional holes to do stuff on your machine.

So how do I trace what Javascript is doing on my machine?

Generally mitmproxy gives a feeling what sites the browser talks too. And strace gives often a good feeling what a Linux binary does. But the browser is too big and complicated to read strace output in most cases.

Can anybody recommend a tool to look what Javascript code loaded by a certain page is doing?
