I know nothing about javascript; how do I "allow" javascript? Or,

It may well be that you have permissions like javascript and cross-site
cookies tightened up so far on Linux that some sites don't work. You
then perhaps go to a Windows machine with no such protections in order
to make that work.
I have installed Debian-12 via netinstal, and Firefox and Chromium
from the Debian repository. I have not done anything to change
browser configuration, except to add startpage as the default search
engine.
Long term I would suggest that isn't ideal and maybe relaxing some
security features in your Linux browser might be worth it, or running
such a browser in a virtual machine, rather than having to have a whole
separate computer.
So long as I can afford the electric bill, running a separate computer
is no problem. I keep it running 24/7 to monitor news sites. I don't
mind a little bit of hassle to be able to browse CHEWY. Their
selection, prices, and delivery are hard to beat.
But something changed at the beginning of summer. And the change
affected all of my machines, some of which I since have done a
complete reinstall (netinst).
I am way out in the middle of nowhere with poor Internet service; but
the Window$ machine accesses the CHEWY web site properly.
All my machines are behind an ipFire firewall, but even connecting to
the modem upstream of the firewall does not allow me to browse CHEWY.
