I've attempted to keep whitelists working, but now I just use a separate chrome profile with javascript+cookies disabled that is for random blogs/news sites/etc. If you have 2+ chrome profiles open, there is a menu item for "Open link as > No Javascript" that does wonders.

I think of it the other way around. I have a profile for the World-Wide Web and a couple for work and non-work javascript apps.

I see, this makes sense. I'm sure there is something similar I can do with with Firefox. Thanks.
