Simple JavaScript Toggle

Enable or disable JavaScript on a site-by-site basis.

What is Simple JavaScript Toggle?

Simple JavaScript Toggle is an extension designed for Google Chrome users. It offers an efficient method to enable or disable JavaScript execution on individual websites instantaneously. Unlike the traditional path via the Chrome settings page, which is feasible but time-consuming, this extension adds a shortcut in the toolbar. It simplifies the process of altering the JS settings directly from the toolbar, providing flexibility and saving time. Once the button is clicked, the permission status for JavaScript is toggled, and the webpage automatically refreshes to reflect these changes.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Simple JavaScript Toggle adds a button which allows you to control if JavaScript should be allowed to run on the current site or not.

Chrome has built-in support for allowing you to configure which sites should be allowed to run JavaScript. You do this on the Chrome settings page, and it works really well for permanently blocking or allowing a site. If you find that you regularly need to change whether to allow or block JavaScript on a site, using the settings page gets impractical. That's where this extension comes in. By clicking on a button in the toolbar, JavaScript is either enabled or disabled for the current site whereupon the page is reloaded.

Sure, u can click on 'site settings' and disable JS on the site, but u often don't want to do that. And it's a hassle. This extension is quick and dirty. Works just on the page u are on. Not remembered - no permanent change to ur settings. Reloads page instantly. Great for when u click a link to an unfamiliar site and the page is taking ages to load bc of all the trashy scripts. Or u just want to see what a page wd look like in 'mobile' vsn. Rating: surprisingly useful.
