YesScript2

It marks the domain of the active tab untrusted, reloads the page and blocks scripts from running on it. An option for the user to stop a website eating up resources or doing malicious things even if it breaks the functionality of the page.

YesScript2 is a Chrome extension designed to mark the domain of your active tab as untrusted, block scripts from running, and reload the page to improve security and performance. It offers three blocking states: full blocking (both internal and external scripts), half blocking (only external scripts), and no blocking — all manageable with a simple click.

This extension helps users prevent websites from consuming excessive resources or executing potentially malicious scripts that could slow down devices or compromise security. YesScript2 supports automatic page reload on state change, syncs user settings across devices using Firefox's Sync feature or local storage, and works on both desktop and mobile platforms. It prioritizes a lightweight code base for easier auditing and reliability.

While it may impact site functionality due to script blocking, it's an effective choice for users seeking an alternative to more complex script blockers like NoScript, offering ease of use and control over script execution on websites you visit.

Using it for a couple of years now and on a daily basis. I love the option of no js, only local js or all js. Beautiful piece of work!
