Quick JavaScript Switcher is a useful tool for web developers to test site behavior without JavaScript and ensure graceful degradation. SEO specialists can simulate how non-JavaScript search engines view a page, helping identify indexing issues. It’s also valuable for privacy-focused users and accessibility testers to assess a site’s functionality without JavaScript, and for quickly comparing page load speeds with and without dynamic elements.

Works with any URL scheme, including domains, subdomains, IP addresses, localhost, and local .html files!

Recent reviews

This used to be one of my favorite extensions, worked great. However the new update has problems and is never really clear if JS is on or off.

It's been great for years, but now the toggle doesn't work. Chrome 130.0.6723.58 (Official Build) (x86_64), MacOS 14.7

Charles Smith, 2024-11-11

changing the icon was a bad idea. it's so small i can't tell if it's toggled on or off and the colors are too light to easily distinguish. also it stopped working altogether until i uninstalled/reinstalled, which i only figured out to do by reading the reviews here.
