What is Disable JavaScript?

Disable JavaScript is an intuitive Chrome extension developed to ensure controlled scripting while browsing. Users can decide whether they want to enable or disable JavaScript for specific sites or particular tabs. In addition, the extension offers features like setting a default state, managing behavior by tab or domain, leveraging shortcuts, toggling context menu items, and managing a blacklist or whitelist of domains. It supports Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Future plans and support are available through the project's GitHub page. The code is entirely open source and maintains user privacy with minimal permissions required.

great addon, i dont have to use developer mode to disable stupid ''please disable adblocker'' messages on some websites. i dont want to disable anything! i will just add even more blockers if they force me to do it. so rude how system want us all to waste our time watching some weird ads and to open 5 tabs in background with viruses every time you click on something. no thanks. This is a must have addon.
