Most sites make an unreasonable use of javascript though. The recent
news about sites and CDNs leveraging javascript to mine bitcoins make
things even worse.

My personal suggestion is to use noscript, most sites work quite fine
without javascript and even more sites work fine by allowing only a few
origins, but blocking dozens of third party scripts.
