Just because you said so?  Web applications bring enormous practical
benefits to their users and administrators.

If you use a non-free web site, you have already lost the freedom to
read, distribute, and modify the code you are relying on
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html).
I fail to see how running the site's non-free JavaScript for the sole
purpose of interacting with that site makes the situation any worse.
