I'm not a security guy. I don't know what reasons other people might have. I actually started it as an experiment, and grew fond of it for no specific laid-out reason.

Actually seeing what trackers and other such spyware are embedded in most pages these days is interesting, but I could live without the granular control. I think what I'm most interested in is just really seeing how different pages will break (or degrade gracefully) confronted with the missing functionality of javascript.

If you haven't yet, I suggest you give these add-ons a ride for, say, a week, if anything for the sake of learning.

i think you may be better suited with an add-on like ghostery which specifically blocks tracking scripts, rather than cutting off javascript completely.
