Yes. For me, it solves the problem of more annoying, superfluous HTTP requests on the local network.

There is often a privacy benefit, too, if the request are being used to send data to an entity that supports online advertising. In some cases, not making these requests avoids supporting the practice of unconsented user data collection, telemetry and online advertising.
