Toggle JavaScript: Swiftly Enable or Disable JavaScript

Toggle JavaScript is a simple, user-friendly Chrome extension built for fast toggling of JavaScript settings. It sports a global JavaScript 'master switch' for ease of use. Notably, it auto-reloads upon toggling to ensure correct page rendering. This tool was built particularly for the web developers, yet it can also be employed by anyone needing to swiftly enable or disable JavaScript without the complicated settings procedure. Unlike its counterparts, its overall functionality ensures pages are always rendered accurately.

User reviews

Disables JS for ALL sites (domains), not just the one you're currently on. This could easily be solved by maintaining a list/database of domains for which the user wants JS disabled, and only activating for those domains. As it is, this extension is basically pointless.

This might work for casual users, but for developers/power users it fails on the sites that need it most. Tested with a popular torrent site that is notorious for using JavaScript (the requirement to allow JavaScript) to get around both Ad Blockers as well 100% negating he basic chrome features that combined should not only block all popups, background windows opening, and intrusive/adult ads. Tested by blocking every setting except JavaScript, turning on this extension & giving it full permissions, and turning off all other adblockers. Instantly the site knew I was using a JavaScript manipulating extension. Tested additional times with varying combinations of top rated ad blockers & this extension combined. No change.

It works great but, as other says, I would make the icon more distinctive for on/off status.
