Once in a while Firefox has a bug, and I have to reset its data in one environment. Almost without exception, I forget to install NoScript after that, and experiment the "fully functional" web. That experience is so disastrous that I always put NoScript back, and make notes to not forget it again (that I obviously do not follow next time).

The web with Javascript enabled is simply broken. Sites take ages to load, refuse to show you content, throw overlays all around the screen, or just stop working.

And then, there are security considerations. But as I said, I never remember them.

"[..]throw overlays all around the screen" They've adapted. I've seen sites in the wild that do the opposite. Use CSS to hide all the content, and then use JS to enable proper viewing.

Those sites are usualy also the ones that behave worst when you enable Javascript. As a general rule, the best option is to simply not bother with them, and spend your time on some site that cares about you.

But, of course, there are always exceptions.
