> I mean am I the only one that is browsing with completely disabled JS by default? :-D

I have no patience for that. There’s enough frustration in my life without inflicting more on myself.

The problem is that pages today are waaay too bloated and they use JS to download a bunch of unnecessary crap such as various trackers and "analytics" etc. And with the WebAssembly there is even more tracking the page can do (no thanks!).

When I disable JS globally, I genuinely get faster experience on most of the pages.

I find myself far less frustrated with the web with JS disabled than with it enabled by default.
