It would be interesting to make a list of commonly annoying & worth
disabling (or at least providing a toggle to disable) features. Of
course -sp does basically all of this, but at the expense of quite a
few sites refusing to work at all.

The most annoying thing I've found is quite a few sites like the
piratebay and isohunt have some javascript that opens a popup (or
multiple ones) if you click anywhere. And because they're click
triggered, no popup blockers seem to work on them (I'd guess adblock
disables the appropriate .js, though privoxy doesn't out of the
box.)

God I hate a lot of the web.
