Actually, no, most websites don't. I use a deny by default cookie
policy, and NoScript, and nearly every single website I visit works. I
need to enable session cookies when I'm buying something online, but
JavaScript is rare that I ever need to enable it for a site.

If you have that kind of problem where you work, you need to work on

outbound traffic through a proxy, and everyone including the oh so
precious C level goes through it.
