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!

Chris 2025-10-17: Why does it need access to my geolocation, camera, and microphone?!
Roger Fleming 2025-10-16: 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 2025-10-03: 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 2025-09-22: I love it!! Perfect and easy to use
Elroy Sullivan 2025-05-21: 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.
Jessica S. (darkocean) 2025-04-21: 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!
Tim Gildersleeve 2025-04-02: 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.
Jason Polites 2025-03-09: 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 2024-12-31: 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.
Sergio U 2024-11-29: It works great but, as other says, I would make the icon more distinctive for on/off status.
Joseph CUI 2024-10-31: 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 2024-10-19: 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 2024-09-24: Works well so far, but why is the toggle indicator so small? Poor usability. Need to practically squint to see it.
Infernal Joker 2024-06-14: fire tool
bloodys spammers 2024-02-12: ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ BEWARE! ONLY GLOBALLY ENABLES AND DISABLED JS ON ALL TABS! CANNOT SET DOMAINS TO BLOCK OR ALLOW! ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
bob sock 2024-01-31: Add ability to enable or disable JS on certain sites via the right click context menu
Abdalla Elgumati 2023-12-13: i am user number 100,000
Ratul Hasan 2023-11-20: This tool is really good to one click disable js. other extensions had some issues like <noscript> not parsing.
Olivér Menyhárt 2023-09-19: 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.

Lexi 2023-09-14: Works very well and is much easier than going to site permissions manually, would reccomend to anyone

Valued Team Member 2023-08-02: 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.

Throat Warbler Mangrove 2023-05-06: Installed, worked great. Now clicking it to turn off JS, nothing happens. Found that disabling and re-enabling brings back toggling.

Andre D 2022-02-10: 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

Áliston Diniz 2021-10-18: Não funciona, o próprio chrome bloqueia
Jim Schwartz 2021-08-31: 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.

Dimas Gomez 2021-02-04: 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.
