Some are helpfully pointing out here that the web is now used for both A) content delivery and B) app delivery, and the B parts are hard to do w/o JS. I tend to browse with JS disabled as a default (images too, that's another conversation maybe), and for sites that are really important to me, I enable it in browser settings, just for that site (sometimes temporarily, depending). I leave a couple of tabs open that I can get to very quickly for that purpose, but fortunately most of the time I can ignore sites that require JS. Reasons include speed, convenience, and security. (I also do most browsing in separate user accounts, depending on the security level of what I am doing, and what other data that account handles.) Edit: Sometimes for those same reasons, or for automation purposes of some tasks (like checking a particular page for a certain fact that I want to act on when it changes, such as some security updates), it's nice to be able to use text browsers like links (or wget & curl) too, and have the info available w/o requiring JS for it.
