Reviews & Comments of Toggle JavaScript chrome extension

Installed, worked great. Now clicking it to turn off JS, nothing happens.

Couldn't be more simple. For a few years, I had the disable javascript tab bookmarked in my tabs page to get to is easily. This was still a little annoying as it took a solid 5 SECONDS to disable and refresh the page. Now I can instantly disable and refresh at the same time without opening any more tabs

Very very good extension for me!!! Thanks a lot!

works great. please consider to improve the extension my changing the enabled color in the icon from dark green to light green so that it is easier to see that java script is enabled. the current red color for the java script is disabled is easy to see.

Excellent! Simple but effective.

Perfeito.

So handy when you just want to read a page and not have all the videos playing to distract you. click once and it's on while automatically reloading the page. Much faster than having to open the advanced settings page and switch back and forth between it and my image settings. I used to just leave a tab open all the time with access to the JavaScript, but this is much better!

Nice extension. Pretty much works as advertised. Only bug I see is the toolbar icon showing the switch in the position opposite what's actually set. Looks like the developer is using the black area to indicate the position of the switch but that's actually the background if you look at a real (physical world) switch).

>It works. >Simple & effective Could be nice to also have "per-site" settings.

Missing only a "per tab" option.

Disabling JS works great to temporarily get rid of add blocker nag screens and *some* pay walls. Of course you would want to toggle it as a lot of stuff won't work right and this switch makes it super easy to do that. I like how there is an icon in the address bar now to alert you when JS is off. From prior reviews it sounds like that wasn't always there. Case in point, I was entering this review and the publish button was greyed out. The icon alerted me and switched it back and now I can click the publish button. Whats up with the permissions though? Do you really need to control my microphone and see my browser history? Now to find a CSS toggle switch.

Such a helpful function for testing a SPA with server side rendering (SSR)! Able to just quickly and easily toggle javascript on and off with a single click, and the page I'm currently developing on will switch between showing just SSR content or the full SPA with client side JS. Just wish there was an option to enable/disable on a per tab or per domain basis. I've accidentally left JS disabled when opening a new tab to search for something and forgot I had JS disabled. It's not a big deal because I can just use a second chrome profile where JS is disabled, but being able to just toggle on a single tab or single domain would make this 5 stars in my opinion. Would also help if the icon changed slightly more so it was easily noticeable (yellow = disabled, blue = enabled maybe?) On a 4K screen it's just difficult to see the icon state at a glance.

It works very well!!!

Amazing

thanks for a great tool

Thanks for a great tool!

Very simple and useful, love that part. I'm sorely missing the possibility to do this per tab though...

This is called "Good Job" Simplicity & Functionality !!! Missing signature of modest author ! We want to know to whom say Than You !!! Can we see signature of respectful author ?

Whats up with the permissions? It says this extension can look at my browsing history?

It won't turn my java script on.

cool

Thank you for you hard work! Is it possible if add a button for swapping between "disable" and "disable & refresh"?

Toggles just for the immediate presenting page. I want it to stay ON - OFF for everything that comes from that link.

I was trying to visit a page that had a never-ending javascript function. I couldn't scroll down the page because of it. So I tried multiple script blockers. This is the only one that actually allowed me to see the whole page as I wanted. Thank you!

Dank and makes switching on/off so simple. Thanks my boi

It's great, but disabling JavaScript refreshes the page. In this case: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3093793/windows/10-compelling-reasons-to-upgrade-to-windows-10.html#slide2 Disabling JavaScript makes it so that I cannot comment in the article until I turn on JavaScript. And I like the fact that I can see every slide without clicking in the left or right arrow buttons. Disabling JavaScript also prevents the website from taking control over the left and right arrow keys in my keyboard, which is what I want. Enabling JavaScript, in the other hand, makes the website functioning again, which makes the slideshow take control over my left and right arrow keys in my keyboard, especially when typing in the text box. When typing in the text box, I want to use the arrow keys to move around the insertion point in the text box. UP and down arrow keys are fine, but use the left and right arrow keys, and this scrolls the web page back up to the slide. If JavaScript is the way of the future, then hacking into website's JavaScript code to disable keyboard events should be the way of the future as well. So coming back to the extension, toggling the JavaScript by clicking in it is the same as modifying the browser setting to enable and disable JavaScript, which refreshes the web page and nothing else. I thought I would like to post my review to let other people know, so that I can help those figure out whether they want the extension or not.

Refreshes the page instead of just disabling (as one would do via developer options: F12 -> F1 -> Disable Javascript ... doesn't refresh the page). Some pages don't load when Javascript is disabled, but some validation can be skipped when it's temporarily disabled, such as being able to paste text in an input field. I appreciate the work that's gone into writing this, and that it's free. It just doesn't do what I want (more like toggle & refresh).

Fake

There is an issue when using this extension. I have a list of Java exceptions in Chrome. When I disable Java using this extension, java remains disabled for the domains in my exception list as well ! Please fix this.

Good!! just what i needed

Simple. Effective. Left is on. Right is off. It should change colors, red or green, when off or on.

This extension seemed to work very well for a short time. Then it stopped working. (At first it would indicate whether JavaScript was on or off, and I could toggle back and forth. Then it stopped toggling and would not change, nor would it indicate whether JS is on or off anymore. (This may be due to a contradictory or competing setting I made later and failed to notice.) Not sure what the problem is, so I will give it a medium rating.

Close, but not quite. Wanted similar behavior to QuickJava on PeeCee w/FF. Problem is auto page reload on toggle. Example use: load bloomberg.com, JS on, turn JS off, open articles of interest in tabs. Without JS on, you don't see the full bloomberg page, but toggling JS off causes reload of incomplete page. CNN is same. This behavior may be already described in other reviews.

perfect, just what I need

Nice - Allows me to have JS enabled in normal mode and disabled in Incognito by default and easy to switch back.

Guess what, it works well.

You need to reload every page to disable JavaScript on them.

Single click to check out a page without JavaScript. Has improved my life tenfold.

Per-domain extensions create an ever-growing list of exceptions. This is great when you want to quickly enable a site without making it a perpetual exception.

Works as suggested, simple and to the point !

Pretty good, but I found the effect when toggling where it removes and re-adds the tab to be kind of annoying. Maybe just let me manually refresh, or do something less jarring.

a must for browsing the internet

Phenomenal.

Epic

Changed my life! No more rooting about in the developer tools means more time for pouring gin and tonic.
