How to disable javascript in Chrome?

First of all, would this mean most websites fail to load? Also, if I disable it, is there any chance that some sites would be permamentaly broken after I switch them back on?

Why do people actually do it? Seems like a nuclear option for privacy purists from what I read online. Since malicious code relies on your browser automatically executing hidden scripts in the background, then killing JavaScript should slam the door on a massive chunk of web malware, tracker junk, and other annoying popups. Just seems like its either having websites work or not? I tried some extensions and so far they just rendered most of my sites unusable

Infrared light therapy benefits

I keep seeing ads on insta for infrared light therapy and these Phantom of the opera glowing masks pop up from time to time too. My Instagram feed is basically nothing but people sitting in front of giant red light panels looking like theyre having a face-to-face with Hal 9000. Okay, I get the classic brainrot too, but I have been searching stuff on the panels a lot, so fair enough that the algorithm gonna nag me on it, though it got my attention in the process....

Im honestly pretty confused by it as much as intrigued. My lower back has been killing me lately from my desk job. I never got used to sitting on the pc for long without back pain, and I noticed my skin has been looking super dull and gray over the recent seasons. Got me wondering of a two birds one stone type of moment, since some influencer I followed for a while was swearing that hanging out in front of these lights for 10 minutes a day cured their joint pain, fixed their wrinkles, and gave them more energy. He also gave a bunch of pics to show the changes, so kind of noticed a change. Not too big but seems decent considering its just sitting in front of a lamp

How does shining a colored light bulb at your skin actually fix your muscles or help with aging? Is it just a glorified heating pad or is there actual science here that I could look up?

Also, could I just get a specialized lamp instead of the entire panel thing? I reckon the panel is better but wondering for something more compact
