I have javascript disabled, and the regular page loads immediately for me with all of the story shown.

  The only question, how do you have the energy to browse the web without javascript, when every site uses it for something.

    I imagine he either enables once in a while using NoScript, or just bails out. I do not block Javascript for the time being, but nowadays I bail out much more often, because most of what I see on the web, including on HN, is trash or sightly higher then that, but still inconsequential. Try sometimes to use links -g and you'll see how web can feel like browsing local resources, if you have a decent connection. Some sites will not work, but it kinda works as quality filter. If only links would support tabbed browsing.

    There are plugins (at least in some browsers) that let you turn off/on javascript on a site basis. They are very useful.

    Blocking JS is extremely helpful for removing most tracking. I can selectively enable certain JS for specific sites. It takes hardly any time at all to set this up or to engage with this. Plus, it saves a ton of time on page loads. I look at the pages that other people load, and those bouncing ads, videos, and whatnot.... I simply use a different Internet than others.
