Turning off JavaScript in browsers is magic, it works everywhere, PCs, Android, Windows, etc. It not only kills ads but almost all of the other garbage that website programmers do to deliberately annoy the hell out of web surfers.
JavaScript programmers take note: turning JS off makes the web sing, up goes the rendering speed, pages appear much, much faster, and all that jerkiness disappears, and most of the spying on users also disappears. Web pages often drop from 7 or 8MB per page to as low as several hundred kB—that's over a 20:1 reduction in download size! It's a magic solution.
Websites that won't render with JS turned off I simply bypass, as they say "there are plenty more fish in the sea" — many more webpages than I can ever hope to visit in a lifetime.
If only users knew the advantages of turning of JS many more would do it. Remember, JS is there to mostly benefit advertisers and website owners who want to spy on users—it's not to benefit you the user!
Despite what they say almost everything that can be done on the web can be done without JavaScript. Sorry JavaScript programmers and aficionados, it's just a fact.
Turning JS off is one of the few remaining defenses we have against you nasty advertisers and website owners.
