Remember that you run a lot of untrusted code on your single-user desktop through Javascript on websites. Javascript can do all those side channel attacks like Spectre and Meltdown.
Using no-script made me realize how unchained the Internet has become. Sites with upwards of 15 different domains all running whatever JS they want on your machine. Totally insane.
There are almost certainly unmitigated Spectre-style bugs hiding in modern hardware. People who don’t block JavaScript by default are impossible to protect anyway.
I'm not affiliated with NoScript. I just think it's insane that we run oodles of code to display web pages.
