Should I Disable WebSocket Connection on My Web Browser (in terms of privacy)?

Considering disabling WebSocket connections for security reasons. Any experience or thoughts? Have you disabled WebSockets? Any notable issues or performance changes?

old reddit or libreddit (now redlib). If you browse without accout, that should be enough. If you have a account, I would still enable js only for old reddit and not reddit as whole.

Old reddit got renamed??? Why'd they do something to something they secretly wanna get rid of

no, libreddit ( a privacy frontend for reddit, third party) was renamed to redlib.
