Comment on Ask HN: Why do you disable JavaScript?

Comments

I use RequestPolicy to block requests to other domains, which often prevents various JavaScript files from being loaded. This is done in order to impede companies like Google, Facebook and others tracking my web browsing on pretty much every website in existence. Third parties don't need to be informed of the pages I visit.

A side benefit is that many annoying ads are blocked, in exchange for some pain when visiting new sites with separate domains hosting their CSS, images and other assets.
