Sometimes I disable JS on my browser and then forget about it, only to be reminded when a website is totally non-functional without it. Then when I go back I realize with total horror how bad things were.
Pop-ops on every, single website, with dishonest UX to opt-out of tracking each time you visit. The text I may only need to see for two seconds to remind myself of something is obscured by this huge modal that takes so long to load.
With the exception of YouTube and a few other things I use, I greatly prefer the internet in 2022 when I forget to reenable JS. News sites and blogs are blazing fast, with no tracking dialogues to dismiss, and text gets drawn to the page immediately.

- scim-knox-twox 5y agoI feel like you're describing my experience. I'll add webfonts to that. For me uBlock disables them everywhere (because that's not what they're for) and it's good to see how by simply missing a font (which can always fail to load, not just by deliberate blocking) you can't use pages because the icons aren't there and the buttons aren't labeled in any other way. Such a page immediately falls into DNS blocking - I won't bother just because they don't know the basics of web development...
