Just turn it off. You wouldn't believe how much quicker pages load.

It's such a pain in the butt when you're visiting a primarily text content page, and it jitters and freezes your browser initially while it loads its 43 analytics engines and social media libraries.

Just flip it on when you want it. There's plugins for fast switching and allowing only for certain sites.

Don't browse without ghostery.

It's becoming less and less an option. No javascript means blank page on a surprisingly large number of websites. Saddening.
