Two years ago, I started browsing with turned off by default, only enabling it (and saving this decision) when needed. With the browsers I am using, it's only 2 clicks.

A lot of insights I got from this experiment:

- most websites are still usable, minus all the annoyances
- websites that refuse to display content at all w/o JS turn out to be not worth visiting. So you have kind of a quality filter.
- browsing is many times faster
- you use the internet much more focused on the content you were actually looking for. No more distractive images, links, embedded content
- enabling JS on sites that automatically redirect you if your misses JS support can be tricky
