That's incorrect. Websites cannot detect that I am not running JavaScript as they would need to use JavaScript to do that. Instead those sites assume no one is running JavaScript and throws an error by default. If you are running JavaScript the error on the page gets overwritten with actual content. NoScript allows me to selectively turn on JavaScript. If you allow the website's domain often 80-90% of the website will function properly and you don't need to turn on all of the third party libraries and trackers.
There are a small number of occasions where this won't work but in those handful of cases (if you absolutely need the content) you can just use a sandbox browser in a virtual machine.
