Does this comic use that dyslexic font? If so, nice touch.

Yes, OpenDyslexicAlta Bold ^^
Really readable, love it. <3
Those last two panels are so far past the inconvenience I'd ever be willing to put up with. I'm not sure how it could ever be worth it.
Bottom left is a super-convenient built-in feature of Qubes OS, via qubes-whonix. I just click a button and a new disposable whonix qube is generated from the template, and it only takes seconds to boot. When I'm done with it, I close the window, and the disposable qube is automatically deleted.
Bottom right is my default, since I don't like broken sites.
Okay I just did some cursory research and it doesn't sound simple. Is it just installing qubes-whonix and creating a template (I'm guessing a yaml config or similar)?
As far as sites with JavaScript being "broken", that one puzzles me. I have tried turning off JavaScript in the past and probably 70% of websites became fully non functional. That shouldn't be the case, but it often is, and my impression has been that this has gotten worse, not better. I'm a web developer and no one talks about progressive enhancement anymore and frankly my coworkers have mostly thought it's silly to even try to support users who turn off JavaScript.

During the installation of Qubes OS, you can select a checkbox to have Whonix templates and qubes automatically installed. After installation, you can simply click a launcher to start an app like Tor browser in a new disposable whonix qube from the disposable whonix template. It really is that simple. Installing Qubes OS does take a while though.

Yes, those sites which become non-functional without javascripts are very much broken.

Yes, much of the web is broken. On a related note, much of the web is infested with malicious ads and trackers.

That's a shame. And yeah, those are basically just dead sites. If they're non-functional then there's really no point for them to exist.
As the web continues to devolve, with a growing graveyard of dead sites (and an increasing prevalence of malicious scripts), I hope that more people wake up to the reality that this is bad. It's similar to the dead-end that is google's android. Eventually they'll pull it away and leave a lot of people scrambling for their next option. I think the modern web will go through a similar transformation one day. I hope so.
Wasm seems like a good step towards a better web, and still is something really niche AFAIK.
I hope that it becomes standard, because is way more secure, and of course more performant than JS.
I do even think that the HTML+CSS+JS triad (and its single components, too) are a historical bad design decision, a HUGE one, and should've superseded.
What makes WASM more secure than JavaScript? I'd think that the main issue with JS is that it's a programming language that's running on the client-side, not that it's specifically JS.
I will give qubes-whonix a shot, you have convinced me!
There are certain functionalities that cannot be done without JavaScript. In my perfect world either no one would abuse JavaScript with ads and other shitty design choices, or at least I'd have an easier time with toggling it off/on. For now I'm leaving JavaScript on because it's simply far too inconvenient otherwise. Browsers are pretty good about preventing actual harm if you have UBO installed though.
Out of curiosity, what harm are you concerned about JavaScript doing with an ad blocker and while loading sites within a container? That seems extreme to me.
