Enable or disable JavaScript without the hassle.

Toggle JavaScript
Description from store

Toggle JavaScript provides a simple, easy-to-access browser button to enable or disable JavaScript globally.

It was built with web developers in mind, but is equally useful for anyone who wants to quickly enable/disable JavaScript without having to dig deep into Chrome's Settings panel.

Features:

- global JavaScript master switch
- reloads when toggling to ensure accurate rendering (optional since v1.3)

More Info:

There are similar extensions that enable or disable JavaScript per-domain, but I find this over-complicated so I decided to build a JavaScript "master switch".

Also, similar extensions can cause pages to be rendered inaccurately after disabling JavaScript. This extension uses an auto-reload technique to ensure that pages are always rendered correctly after switching JavaScript on or off.

I hope you enjoy using it - if you do, please tell your friends about it and help me out by giving it a positive review. Thanks!

Why does it need access to my geolocation, camera, and microphone?!
Roger Fleming
Works when it sees fit to access a page, but often doesn't think it needs access to a page that has javascript running. I guess I'll go back to hitting F12 in Chrome and turning off java in the settings 🫤
Peter Ramirez
A simple but extremely useful extension for a non-techie like myself who simply wants to quickly disable JS on specific sites where having it active causes noticeable slowdown and, thus, aggravation, particularly when other solutions would not be sufficient (disenabling/enabling adblocking, disabling active scripts, etc). Would a whitelist be ideal? Absolutely. But even without one it's been a godsend.
Petter Jakob
I love it!! Perfect and easy to use

This extension seems to work for me, but it only gets a three-star review because it's got a double-negative in it, which, as a programmer, drives me nuts. Basically, when the extension is off, it denotes NOT NOT javascript. This is a BASIC guideline in any programming, to not do double-negatives, and it's true in ALL kinds of ways, such as variable naming, and, particularly, user interface. He/she clearly should have made the switch denote OFF=JS_off, and ON=JS_on (and it's backwards from this). To me, this suggests that this isn't a seasoned programmer who did this.

Also needed as a-hole webmasters decide to lock the scroll bar, it's annoying having to go into a sites settings and disable JavaScript for each site that does this. No bookmarking or sharing for them from me! Jerks!

Works for what I need it for - to identify problems on a site by disabling JS. People have complained that it disables JS globally - but I don't think "site by site" is what this is aiming for. Its a "toggle it off to test" thing. Its for when you need to see how something works without JS if JS is causing it to fall over. You toggle it off - see what it's doing then when finished toggle it back on again. For THAT it works as it says on the tin. For a "turn JS off for this site" - its a different product that's needed - this doesnt do this but I don't think it claims it does either.

Disables JS for ALL sites (domains), not just the one you're currently on. This could easily be solved by maintaining a list/database of domains for which the user wants JS disabled, and only activating for those domains. As it is, this extension is basically pointless.
Linda Darlene Hillerbrandt
This might work for casual users, but for developers/power users it fails on the sites that need it most. Tested with a popular torrent site that is notorious for using JavaScript (the requirement to allow JavaScript) to get around both Ad Blockers as well 100% negating he basic chrome features that combined should not only block all popups, background windows opening, and intrusive/adult ads. Tested by blocking every setting except JavaScript, turning on this extension & giving it full permissions, and turning off all other adblockers. Instantly the site knew I was using a JavaScript manipulating extension. Tested additional times with varying combinations of top rated ad blockers & this extension combined. No change.

It works great but, as other says, I would make the icon more distinctive for on/off status.
Joseph CUI
Does exactly what it says. Extremely useful just make the toggle icon larger (its harder to notice the status with just around 100 pixels of red)
aminulz
Pros: - It does what it's supposed to. Cons: - Accessibility issue: the part of the icon that indicates if the extension is on or off is far too small.
Prickly G
Works well so far, but why is the toggle indicator so small? Poor usability. Need to practically squint to see it.

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ BEWARE! ONLY GLOBALLY ENABLES AND DISABLED JS ON ALL TABS! CANNOT SET DOMAINS TO BLOCK OR ALLOW! ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

This tool is really good to one click disable js. other extensions had some issues like <noscript> not parsing.

it is not works like the chrome debugger "disable javascript" feature therefore it is not the best for development purposes. the only thing it should do is to trigger this function in chrome but it is working a different way.

Works very well and is much easier than going to site permissions manually, would reccomend to anyone

ShOcK & AWE outstanding... not only does it disable the Krap in ~90% of the web pages, it remembers your previous web pages choices. You don't have to keep turning it ON or OFF... When you leave a know bad/AD page it turns off. Go back, it turns ON. It remembers past settings. The only pages (~10%) that it can't control are the sites that don't use Java, I'm guessing. But for most, it's pure heaven. Thank you Toggle Java. You RoCk. The check is in the mail.

aqui foi o unico que deu certo na super interessante

Installed, worked great. Now clicking it to turn off JS, nothing happens. Found that disabling and re-enabling brings back toggling.

Adorei.... Fiz alguns testes e ele foi bem sucedido em todos.

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

Não funciona, o próprio chrome bloqueia

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.

Funcionou na Folha, mas precisa acionar ela antes de entrar no link. (28/07/2021)

Excelente ferramenta para consultar publicações que cobram assinaturas muito caras para quem só consulta raramente. Já uso há cerca de dez anos.

Excellent! Simple but effective.

Funciona perfeitamente, ótima extensão! Lembrando que para ativar ela deve se clicar no ícone da extensão, deixando com o "botão" de liga/desliga vermelho no próprio ícone.

Funcionou aqui, para ligar tem que clicar na ícone da extensão, quando estiver ligado vai aparecer uma barra vermelha.

It is helpful as it is, but it messes with my previous permissions and bugs the default Chrome dialog screen, not allowing my finetuned allowed domains without turning it on). I'd like to be able to use them, without toggling it on.
