Features & Capabilities

Javascript Control is a handy Chrome extension that adds a toggle button to the URL bar, letting you block or enable Javascript on a per-site basis. By default, Javascript is disabled to improve your browsing security and control over web content. With a simple click, you can enable Javascript for trusted sites without navigating through complex settings.

While the extension supports Chrome fully, users should note that on Firefox for Android, some icon functionalities are limited due to platform restrictions; however, the core Javascript blocking feature remains effective. This extension is ideal for users looking for fine-grained control over Javascript execution to boost privacy and security while browsing.

User Reviews

Doesn't correctly inform sites that javascript is disabled, which means that sites like duckduckgo that can serve content without javascript (when they detect that JS is disabled) fail to render anything.

Awesome addon, 99% of all sites I visit, use Javascript. I wish Erwan Ameil would allow a person to set the default to Enabled.

Is Javascript Control Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Javascript Control requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Javascript Control has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
