I ran it for a while mostly as an educational thing: I wanted this big subterranean mass of Stuff that goes on whenever I load a webpage to be more visible to me, and to understand what's happening. Why does this site load 10 files from 4 different domains? What are they doing? As an added bonus I could reduce third-party tracking's effectiveness by not loading their JS.
As a less-intrusive compromise, I use Ghostery now, which lets me zoom in on a lot of the common third-party JS without cluttering the view with "normal" stuff like jquery and friends, because they keep a curated list.
