Features & Capabilities

JavaScript Switch Chrome Extension

The JavaScript Switch extension offers a simple button that allows users to toggle JavaScript on or off directly from the browser. It mimics the behavior of changing the javascript.enabled setting found in Firefox's about:config page for a quick, on-the-fly control over JavaScript execution.

With this convenient tool, you can easily manage your browsing environment, enhance privacy, troubleshoot webpages, or improve page load speed by disabling JavaScript when needed—all without navigating deep browser settings. This extension is ideal for developers, privacy-conscious users, and anyone looking for streamlined browser control.

Is JavaScript Switch 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 Switch 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 Switch is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
