Comment on Ask HN: Why do you disable JavaScript?

Comments

The only time I have ever disabled JS for a website, I've done it because that website broke some UI functionality I expect to work in every page. Most often, what some website does is disable right-click. They must think that is a foolproof way of "protecting" their content, and don't see it as an annoying block that makes people disable JS.

I did try an extension (for Chrome) that prevented sites from disabling right-click, but then out of nowhere it inserted an ad in a page I was viewing, so I removed that extension and went back to blocking JS.
