The web is lightning fast when I turn off javascript.

  I heard people saying this a lot so I decided I'd give it a try. My experience is that this quote is actually, "The web is lightning fast when we don't use most of it." The number of features and websites that just wouldn't work was significant. However, some sites I visited that were informational only did get a bit faster which for some people with bad Internet connections might make a difference. This probably already exists, but what I want is an AdBlocker-style plugin that executes a community-curated list of "websites that need JavaScript to work." I can then get the best of both worlds: faster websites with less unnecessary JavaScript, but without crippling a large portion of the Internet for myself.

  True. I get wicked fast blank pages.
