how much extra data does JS on google use vs without JS? We must be talking about kb that are probably also cached.

On the average site JS will add anywhere from hundreds of KB to over a MB of data to download: https://httparchive.org/reports/state-of-javascript#bytesJs
Especially when it’s foundational to how the site runs, e.g. the typical way how Vue, React or Angular are used.
I personally use a free (and small) mobile data plan, so that several MB/search would make me pay infinite times more. I switched to DDG.
