I posted a topic about this recently. Now I've written an essay about it:

I've come to the conclusion that making JavaScript code libre is the wrong direction to take. I think automatically installed JavaScript should just be rejected, and I have started doing so.

By the way, a useful trick: one common use of JavaScript code is to show elements that are hidden by default (spoiler tags, for example). You can right-click on such elements, choose "Inspect Element", and modify the CSS display attribute from "none" to "" (or just get rid of the part that modifies the display attribute). It takes a couple seconds, so it's obviously less convenient than using the JavaScript code, but it's very easy. The Inspect Element feature can also be useful for other things, like floating boxes that block text.
