I also do this, and some sites would not load, so I just skip them, or if
they are important, then either enable them in NoScript or use Falkon (or
Chromium).

Another extension that I have, is CookieBro. It whitelists cookies for
certain domains or subdomains, and deletes every other cookie (when you
close the browser, I think).
