Script Switch is a straightforward browser extension that allows users to toggle JavaScript on or off across all open tabs and windows efficiently. With a simple toolbar button and a keyboard shortcut (ALT+J), managing JavaScript execution becomes effortless. When JavaScript is enabled, the extension icon glows green; when disabled, it turns grey, providing clear visual feedback.

Designed for Firefox users, Script Switch enhances browsing control, useful for developers, testers, or privacy-conscious users who need to quickly disable scripts. You can easily test the functionality at isjsenabled.com. Feedback and contributions are welcomed on the GitHub repository.

Reloads alls tab whenever it is toggled, this behaviour is annoying and should be given an option to turn off. Otherwise good and the most lightweight Javscript toggler.

Good, but turning on/off JS for ALL open tabs is not what I was looking for, because it triggers a reload of all tabs.

by Ne*****, 2020-01-06

Very good plugin, and thanks for making this OSS – an option to only toggle the current tab instead of reloading all others would be most appreciated!

Extension safety

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.

Script 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Script Switch has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
