Toggle JavaScript Extension

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!

Olivér Menyhárt (ID: 00000025bd370920) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 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 (ID: 000000acba1a5c07) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 Works very well and is much easier than going to site permissions manually, would reccomend to anyone

Valued Team Member (ID: 00000038264f7126) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/02/2023 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 (ID: 000000f03a583e1a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/06/2023 Installed, worked great. Now clicking it to turn off JS, nothing happens. Found that disabling and re-enabling brings back toggling.
