    You actually can use I2P with JS disabled as many eepsites work without it.

      Yes you’re right, but disabling JS also makes you stand out way more wrt fingerprinting, and you can still be fingerprinted with HTML/CSS, TLS and other methods.

        On i2p- and onion-sites, I guess having JS disabled is far more common than on normal internet, so “standing out” is not really a concern.

        Disabling JS helps reduce the many many other fingerprintable metrics and replaces it with one. One that is rare, but not uncommon in the worlds of I2P or Tor.
