As an experiment I tend to disable JavaScript periodically. It is amazing how fast and responsive applications become. The amount of cruft that is downloaded is insane! Typically my experiments end after a month or so, because a lot of website don’t work _at all_ with JavaScript disabled.

I generally browse with JS disabled, most things I read "just work".

To achieve this I make use of uMatrix, with the global default being JS disabled, and CSS disabled. Then for sites where I consider it worth the cost, and value the content, I selectively enable JS.

Now one other reason I could give for why not JS would be screen readers, I imagine in content does not render without JS being active, those readers may well be rendered inoperative. Or at best very poor to interact with.
