#4I have used noscript + ublock origin for almost a decade now, approving js on some sites is not a big deal and I have had zero issues with malware or popups or other garbage website.
You can tell when a website is a tracker nightmare when it wont load HTML text content without javascript.

Seriously though, I respect the ideal of using HTML as much as possible for what it's made. But the web is more than just pure content sites. And Javascript provides a lot of nice things as well.

#6Completely disabling JavaScript is a no-go these days. But Firefox+NoScript is both enlightening and refreshing. Did you know that CNN tries to run JavaScript from more than 30 domains on the front page, but is functional and ad-free after enabling 2 or 3?
The Add-on allows you to enable or disable specific domains serving JavaScript, and automatically save those preferences for later visits. I find that I only notice the add-on for a few days on a new device before it is tuned. After that, the only thing I notice is how slow and garbage-laden the same sites are when I'm on a computer without my setup using e.g. Chrome
YMMV but I have been NoScript-ing for 2 years and won't go back by choice.

#7A very worthy initiative. Unfortunately, the CMS my work mandates requires js, so this is a non-starter for me. What I may do, is run my work profile as regular, but turn off js for my non-work profile. I can complain all I like about the work CMS, but that would be fighting a losing battle.

The web is more than just pure content and, yes, some of it requires JavaScript to function. But it's a lot less than sites actually allow for. We shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of much, much better than the status quo.

Per the article, CSS naked day was the inspiration.
