I use NoScript since 4 or 5 years now (disables javascript by default, and lets you selectively authorize it by domain name). I basically load a website, if it's unreadable I temporarily authorize the main domain, and if it still doesn't work, juste close the tab altogether.
It may seem cumbersome, but it's actually quite a nice experience after you get the habit. The vast majority of interesting stuff is not behind popups and ads and weird scrolling modes like many mandatory javascript ridden pages are. YMMV, but I wouldn't browse the web on my machines without it now (and adblockers, of course).
I'm quite amazed when I see a website on someone else's machine, it is a whole different experience, and is, to me, way way worse. And I'm just talking about the UX, not the privacy.
