## Description

**YesScript2** is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to give users control over scripts running on websites. It allows three blocking states: full blocking (internal and external scripts), half blocking (external scripts only), and no blocking. With a single click, users can mark the current website domain as untrusted, stop unwanted scripts, and automatically reload the page to apply changes. Compatible across desktop and mobile platforms, it leverages browser sync features to remember your settings across devices.

This extension addresses increasing web resource consumption and security risks like cross-site scripting by empowering users to reduce script activity on demanding or potentially malicious sites. Although some websites may lose functionality when scripts are blocked, YesScript2 offers a user-friendly balance between usability and safety. It's an alternative to more complex tools like NoScript, focusing on simplicity and trust through minimal and auditable code.

## Review summary

YesScript2 offers strong performance gains from blocking scripts, with a flexible three-state control and easy usability. It helps block ads and can bypass some paywalls. However, recurring issues include Recaptcha blocking in no-block mode and occasional site breakage due to blocking resources.

### Pros

- Significant performance gains: blocking scripts reduces CPU usage and makes many sites snappier.
- Three-state blocking: option to block no JS, local JS, or all JS for fine-grained control.
- Easy to use and straightforward to configure.
- Effectively blocks scripts, ads, and pop-ups, reducing clutter and speeding up page loads.
- Helpful for bypassing paywalls or gating on some sites.

### Cons

- Recaptcha is blocked even when set to no-block, which hurts usability on some sites.
- Some sites exhibit breakage or CSP-related errors when blocking scripts (site compatibility issues).
