Review summary

Users repeatedly flag malware and maintenance concerns as major negatives, while praising the addon’s test-friendly JS on/off per page and domain-specific disabling. Repeat issues include reliability on certain sites, UI visibility problems, and limited handling of offline URLs. Overall, its value for testing is tempered by safety and compatibility concerns.

Pros

Per-page JavaScript control for testing (noscript-like testing) on the current page.
Domain-based JavaScript disabling capability.
General usefulness for testing and debugging sites with JavaScript on/off states.

Cons

Contains malware across multiple versions/reviews, raising serious security concerns.
Extension appears to have been sold or is not actively maintained, causing trust and update issues.
Can cause site breakage or access problems on some sites (e.g., Cloudflare-protected pages) when JavaScript is disabled.
UI/UX issues: button visibility problems and a keyboard shortcut that conflicts with others.
Offline/file URL pages are not handled, limiting testing scenarios and coverage.

2026-09-21	Fi*****	Seems to work well and I changed the xpi to zip, looked over the code, and it seemed clean to me! I disabled auto updates for the extension just in case, because clearly the extension's original repository is dead. Also the fact that there's "resigned" in the file name is not a good sign, but, again, the code looks fine!! I wish these reviews about malware would specify in what file(s) and on what line(s) is the malicious code. I use this addon with noscript cause it adds a simple switch that I can put on the taskbar and it can just simply disable a single tab's js temporarily (until tab is closed). Which is nice when I don't want to completely unload the tab or block the associated sites or anything like that. I just want it to stop executing it's code temporarily. Also, Author; Please migrate your codebase to somewhere. Dude your github repo is gone obviously and even the web archive containing a copy of your github repo/issues just doesn't exist anymore.

2026-01-04	Ab*****	This extension was working great but at some point I could no longer access sites that used cloudflare protection with this extension enabled. Obviously it wouldn't work without JavaScript but even after enabling JS on the site in question, it would still fail. Hopefully issue gets fixed.

2025-11-28	Bo*****	Offline pages (file:/// ...) do not appear to be considered by the extension. I wish though to test my own pages under both conditions – with and without Java-Script – before I publish them. It is still not clear to me if this is a bug or just something that the author choose to to in this way.
