Most of what I do in a browser is read documents. News articles, blogs, those kinds of things. So I just turn off everything using umatrix BT default. CSS, JS, everything except first party images. It works very well. I'd rather scroll through broken formatting to get to the meat I'm trying to get to than tolerate a nonstandard UI just to read a document.
I use some web apps (like HN or github) and so I change settings for those sites. My rule of thumb is if your site isn't a web app you I don't need anything but HTML. Every so often I get third party images or other media that I want to see, so I turn it on. And every so often I get a page that I am only expecting a document but instead get a blank page, indicating to me that they require scripts to be on to receive a text document. I immediately as a rule close them. If you need to see where my cursor is or whatever just for me to read what you have to say I'm not interested in reading what you have written.
