Features & Capabilities

StopTheScript is a Safari extension for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that stops all JavaScript on your selected websites. StopTheScript is the only Safari extension that stops inline JavaScript on the web page as well as externally loaded JavaScript. This is in contrast to Safari content blockers, which can only block external JavaScript, not inline JavaScript.

User Reviews

Users praise StopTheScript for effective script blocking and security, with notes on its simple, NoScript-like value and improved browsing stability. However, recurring criticisms involve the lack of granular controls (no whitelist, per-site rules), all-or-nothing blocking that hurts usability, and occasional reliability or device-specific issues, plus unclear toggling off. Overall, it offers strong security benefits but significant usability and feature gaps.

Pros

It works as advertised and reliably blocks scripts when enabled.
Simple, no-nonsense interface that emphasizes security.
NoScript-like protection that some users compare to the PC experience, adding value on iOS Safari.
Improves browsing stability by reducing script-related errors and crashes.
Strong overall recommendation from users who value proactive script blocking.

Cons

Lack of per-site whitelisting and granular controls; all-or-nothing blocking.
Usability issues and practicality struggles for daily use; cumbersome at times.
Occasional non-functionality or bugs on certain devices (e.g., iPadOS) and unclear toggle-off behavior.
Does not block cookies effectively and lacks finer rule editing/import/export options.
No straightforward way to edit rules or import external ones within the app.

Recent reviews

It’s great to see a highly useful app that still offers a one-time purchase option. This app fixes websites that would continuously crash in iOS (regardless of browser), even when I had my ad blocker turned off. Plus it disables most anti-ad-blocking features of websites. Note that using this app is a bit counterintuitive. By default it’s OFF on websites; you turn it on as needed on each site.

I’m questioning the negative reviewers. It’s a fantastic app. IYKYK. Does exactly what you need it to do. Tested on a few articles and it works perfectly. Thank you!
