FWIW, I do still totally use NoScript, and am somewhat picky with what I enable; quite many e.g. blogs (and news sites too) are in fact readable enough without it. And in case of blogs in particular (especially on the blogger site), I do quite often just skip reading them if they don't show anything with JS disabled, as this is plain dumb first of all, but also tends to be a strong signal that the particular site will be super slow, annoying, and hard to read with JS enabled anyway.
