I disabled HTML and you wouldn't believe how fast my browser is now.

The downside to NoScript (as someone who's been using it for a while), is when you do find a site you want to visit, which for whatever reason requires its scripts to function properly, you're often left at the menu, wondering which of the half a dozen or more scripts you actually need to allow (some advertising / metrics companies can be easily spotted by domain, but often you've got the original site, maybe one or two static content domains, perhaps a CDN.) It gets to be a hassle

Good idea! But how often do you use sites that need JS? e.g. real estate sites, google maps

Also: can't you just disable JS in your browser, for the same effect?

That is why I use NoScript. I can temporarily enable JS on any page with one click.

Turns out I don't need to enable JS on 99% of the websites I visit.

Countless sites require js to handle what amounts to html 3.2 behavior, such as showing content or submitting a form.
