## Description

## 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.
