I browse with NoScript on. When I seem to need Javascript, I may:
1. Turn it on for that site. (But this can be problematic if there are 15 different domains to turn it on for, only 12 of which are about showing me ads.)
2. Use IEtab in Firefox (not working as well recently).
3. Paste the URL into a different browser. I use IE mainly for my several least favorite sites and services -- Facebook, WebEx, etc. So I'm unlike to mess things up too badly by viewing some JavaScript-heavy page in there.
4. Live without the site that demands all the JavaScript.
Now, one might hypothesize that a security-conscious, ad-hating web surfer as myself isn't a bit loss for most consumer websites. So perhaps it all works out in the end. But there also are a few companies that would pay a lot of money to have me look at their websites -- a fact that I infer from them paying PR people to attempt to get my attention -- and miss out solely because it's too hard to beat the Javascript requirement.
