I agree with you. As a user, I want web developers to have as little freedom as possible. The freedom they enjoy today implies the potential for abuse and boy do they abuse it. Tracking and fingerprinting everywhere, anti-patterns everywhere, sites that are painful to use because they use javascript for everything and even the back button doesn't works properly, sites that don't even render at all without javascript enabled.

This actually pushed me to scrape some websites. I essentially reverse engineered the site and created my own custom client for them just to ensure only my code ever runs. I don't have time or energy to do this for every site though...
