An alternate view is: If your site requires javascript (or cookies or registration) we don't use it. There are plenty of sites that work better with javascript, but are still fully or mostly functional without it. This is where you will find those of us who choose not to allow sites to run javacript in our browser. As an example, nytimes requires registration. The registration page is the extent of my interaction with their site. I turned to theguardian many years ago, and, while I value nytimes, I wouldn't be able to quantify any meaningful difference between the two.
