I use NoScript and block scripts by default. The main reason is security - reducing browsers vulnerability surface and tracking/fingerprinting methods. As an added bonus it reduces significantly all kinds of annoyances like ads and popups. Also the pages load much faster and are lighter for cpu.

However, it is sad how few pages work without javascript these days. Nevertheless, I very rarely enable it for any site. Instead, if there is a page I really want to use, I "fix" it using a userscript. Sometimes it's as simple as modifying the CSS to reveal the hidden content. Sometimes it involves parsing some inline json from the document, doing XHR to get the content and building the html from scratch to show it. I suspect I'm in the minority even amongst the 0.2%.

Image search is what I have been waiting for too.

If I add either lite or html search engine to FireFox, any search will result in page that only says "forbidden". Anyone else seeing this?
