Recently, I started using Firefox plugin NoSript which stops javascript execution on random websites. It makes browsing little better.

I started using it when I found out one tab was eating 2GB of RAM. I think in todays world its very important that you allow only selected trusted websites to run Javascript!

But in response to users disabling javascript, sites now only load the first paragraph and require you to click a button to fully load the page.

Isn't that an engagement metric? Lots of people load articles and don't read them…

Havent had JS on by default in years and I have yet to encounter that.
