Many websites that use JavaScript, particularly news sites, would be much faster without it.

True. As an user, I just don't visit websites that disrespect me, though.

I keep JavaScript always on and if I see a website abusing my trust, I just blacklist the entire website from my browser and never visit it again.

As a developer, all of my publicly available personal projects feature no tracking, no advertisements, and no third-party JavaScript in general. JavaScript is a really good tool, but as any tool can be, JS can be misused.
