+1 The other day I disabled Javascript in my web browser for a day or two to see how much of websites are still usable. I noticed two things: 1. Most websites are unusable without Javascript (so why do web browsers still bother with giving the option to disable it). 2. The websites loaded magnitudes faster - it was as if I was back in 1994! :) This was because they couldn't inject more JS scripts from external domains (eg: ads, remote JS & CSS servers etc). So only a single HTML page was downloaded and whatever local images was referenced - anything that required JS to load simply didn't happen. Even though I have quite a fast Internet connection, I really like what I noticed in (2) above.
