I browse with uMatrix and JS disabled. If you're site makes me enable more than 3 different 3rd party scripts, I usually just fuck right off. I actively work to avoid it, and will remember it and actively trash your site and mock your users to anyone given the chance.

Yes I'm that much of an asshole.

Does your site mostly work without JS untill I want to do/use 'other thing'? Then I'll normally just white list the whole site because I know that you've at least considered what needs to be and what doesn't need to be included.

What about sites with only first-party scripts?
If your site only loads scripts from local you and I are good. I've Even globally whitelisted a few like jQuery and the rest.

but more often than not I have to scroll past more than a few untrustworthy data mining domains just to find the CDN that's distributing your magic JavaScript. Those are the ones that piss me off.

I'm known to just edit the page directly in the console if it annoys me too much. I'm a _heavy_ user of privacy-preserving extensions.
