No, they don't track me across the web ;)
I have js disabled by default on my PC's and laptops. If I need (or want) to use a site that require js, I do so in a VM, and I use that VM only for one or a few related sites (like Hacker News and Slashdot). Each VM has different screen sizes and operating systems / Linux distributions. If I research a subject that is even slightly controversial, I use the Tor browser from a VM or Tails.
But mostly, I just ignore companies and organizations that don't know how to make a website work without js.

I really don't think the extra hassle of VMs is worth it -- these are ad companies trying to fingerprint you, not state actors using zero-days on you. Personally, I dream of a future where 90% of content is delivered over RSS or similar and the middle man (bloated web pages) are cut out entirely.
