There are a lot of advantage to browsing casually with Javascript disabled, assuming you're OK with needing to manually fix some of the sites you visit. I browse that way myself as well; that's why I can see the results I see when I load up the tracking site. Side note that UMatrix is officially deprecated at this point, but it's still a great resource for disabling scripts globally and enabling them site-by-site as needed.

But 1 in 11 people on the web are not disabling Javascript.
