Edit: I forgot to mention the most important piece: When a site says that it won't work without JS, I accept this and close the tab. Unless it's Google Maps.
My browser has built-in URL-based filters.
I browse with JS disabled except for a handful of sites, which I enable for the session whenever I need it.
My browser makes it easy, with a three-key shortcut to toggle it.
This is about the extent of it.
I used to use uBO, which I still think is great, and enough for more Chrome and Firefox users. Many blessings to its maintainer.

This is the real problem at the end of the day. Some of the worst offenders as far as privacy and security are useful so they're hard to detach from.
Every six months or so I try OpenStreetMap and see if I have the patience to deal with its more limited functionality. So far the answer has been "no" but I'm due for another try...
I don't mind letting Google in. I've accepted living in the open.
It's more about wasting my cycles, safety of my environment, etc.
It's certainly nice to not ping 127 trackers per page, a nice bonus.
Google Maps doesn't do that anyway. Except to Facebook, IIRC... Or is that vice versa? Facebook knows where I am too, but at least they're in a no-JS jail, thanks to the half-maintained but sturdy m.facebook.com.
Anyway, feel free to hang out on this lawn as long as you like, it's not like it's mine.
