Why do you disable javascript out of curiosity?

  Nothing against any site in particular, but these are things which I hold against most websites: 1. Page load times 2. Ads, interstitials, popups, screen-coverers 3. Those annoying bars at the top or bottom of a page that move with the page. Or the ones that pop out when you've read 2/3 of an article. 4. Auto-playing video and ads with sound. 5. Javascript exploits are uncommon (tinfoil hat) I want a flat web, and disabling Javascript gives it to me. Thankfully, Chrome lets you whitelist sites.

    I've specified in chrome for click to play on flash which has helped the autoplay videos, as well as blocked a bunch of offenders (meebo) to my hosts file. Couple this with adblock plus and I'm pretty OK with having JS auto-run.
