I have JavaScript disabled by default (incidentally I also disable cookies). I do this for page load speeds, security from malicious JavaScript, disabling of most advertisements, and privacy from ad tracking networks. Best practices is to serve static content and then progressively enhance that content with browser features like JavaScript. Unfortunately many sites disregard this. I routinely encounter things like an entirely blank page, missing images, broken forms (of course if I am logging on to a site I will re-enable cookies). If I think the site is trustworthy enough and I really am interested in the content I will whitelist that site. Otherwise I just hit back.
