I don't disable javascript. Just Javascript (and most resources) from 3rd party domains. I didn't come up with the idea, there's a browser plugin (uMatrix) that does it for me. And I selectively re-enable by domain or resource type. I like it because (1) it blocks just about every annoyance on the web and (2) it means that when I visit a webpage, the number of 3rd parties that the information about my visit is automatically leaked to goes down. It's like automatic blocking of ads, social buttons and just whatever new unpleasantry thing comes up next.

For example, this is what uMatrix displays on the demo:
