I thought I was the last holdout, but I finally added a Chrome plugin that disables javascript on a domain-by-domain basis.
At this point I have JS disabled for pretty much every single news-related site - cnn, nytimes, bloomberg, sfgate, wsj, salon, etc... and dozens of less notable ones. It's incredible how much more usable these websites are without JS. No autoplay, no popups, no "CPU goes to 100% and scrolling takes 5s to respond". And usually it disables the paywall.
These sites are quite literally training their audience to disable Javascript.
