When I browse the web, I disable JS by default. In overwhelming majority of the cases, it makes everything so much faster and nicer.

  I don't understand why this point is brought up on HN everytime there's a discussion about JS. The behaviour of disabling Javascript represents an almost non-existent subset of web users and developers have more pressings things to think about.

    I agree. I appreciate that you _can_ disable JavaScript, but I don't really think of it as a realistic option for using the web in 2018, and certainly not for the average user wanting to do average things.

      It actually is a completely viable option in 2018 for advanced user wanting to do average things (with uMatrix for example), and it is a nice experience. Agree about average users though.

      But considering how horrifically bad things have gotten, maybe we should be making a concerted effort to make it realistic.
