Review summary

JavaScript Switcher is praised for its simple, quick toggle and the ability to set a default JS state. It also preserves noscript blocks by injecting them into the DOM, helping testing and site behavior control. However, reviewers note UI visibility issues (button missing or not immediately accessible) and mixed expectations about the default state, which can affect discoverability and initial usage.

Pros

Simple and reliable: a lightweight solution that quickly enables/disables JavaScript.
One-click toggle without opening settings.
Configurable default status: you can set the default JS state to on or off.
Preserves noscript behavior by injecting noscript content into the DOM.
Effective at taming websites, reducing JavaScript noise on many sites.

Cons

UI button not reliably visible or accessible (toolbar icon or context menu may be missing).
Button may only appear after visiting a page, making discovery difficult.
Conflicting expectations about the default JS state (some want default-on, others expect default-off).

2025-08-19	Th*****	Very simple but works. The only "Disable javascript" addon that I have tried that actually renders all noscript tags properly.

2025-07-23	Mi*****	Life saver extension. This very nicely tames down certain websites. It's analogous to the enable-javascript button in Safari security settings. Only this is a convenient button right there you can toggle on/off without bringing up a settings menu. Some people mentioned the button isn't there. I default to a normally blank page. The button shows up once you go to a webpage. This (and Ghostery) are critical add-ons to taming down webpages in Firefox!
