I am once again asking for Javascript control. Last time it got excused away by saying the error pages on Epiphany use Javascript, so it was decided to throw out Javascript toggling while leaving Javascript on permanently.

With digital currency mining scripts becoming rampant, it is very difficult to use a browser these days without some sort of evaluation control over scripts and possibly other resources.

This is no longer a feature request but a major issue thanks to the rise of those scripts.

This is going to require a NoScript implementation, since we indeed can't turn off JavaScript globally.
