So you're making fun of me although you haven't tried it. Yeah, okay.
> But I expect 95% of the web to break if I disable it
And you'll be wrong, it is much lower than that (except if you're talking about adverts failing to display, then I guess yes, in that respect it does).
I don't give a damn about other sites (and I don't browse intranet sites on my home machine -- if I'm in an office I use their office machine).
If they don't work I don't use them except in rare cases when I really need to in which case they get run in a VM.
> you're probably hurting yourself, too
That's deeply patronising from somebody who admits they haven't even tried doing what I do, nor has even asked why I and others do it (hint: it's for many of the reasons you described). It sounds like you're talking to a rather stupid child.
