Install uMatrix and block all 3rd party JavaScript. It breaks functionality in some sites that embed social networks' widgets, but other than that works like a charm. As a bonus sites load at least 30% faster.
I use uMatrix lazy style - if go to page and it works without changes I use it - if it breaks but I need to use it allow all - if it breaks but I don't care that much close the tab.
Exactly my experience, going on 3 to 4 years now. Spend the time to learn uMatrix. It's an incredible investment into yourself and your web experience. I barely browse on mobile anymore since I don't have uMatrix, although Brave does allow blocking scripts and some stuff quite easily. Highly recommend Brave on mobile.
