Disabling JS protects you from cross site scripting, invasive tracking and cryptominers though. So there‘s definitely a plus. I would like to know the percentage of sites that use JS for actually improving the user experience (e.g. voting not requiring a page reload on HN) vs. those where it‘s just a gimmick (e.g. „want to talk?“ popup). I expect the majority to fall in the second category. So I applaud every effort of websites getting rid of their JS.

Disclaimer: I have JS enabled.
