ScriptBlock Extension

Scriptblock is an extension that provides better control of javascript, iframes and other unwanted content.

It even can midigate cross-site-scripting(XXS) attacks and drive-by-downloads.

ScriptBlock works perfectly together with other extensions like AdBlock, AdBlock Plus or Ghostery.

You can add your trusted sites to a whitelist, so they will not be affected by ScriptBlock.

If you like this extension, please support me and click on the donate button or give me a good review in chrome web store. :)

Shadowcatcher Fox (ID: 0000009dd220eb26) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 Would be better if the popup for determining whether to allow/deny/temporary allow a site's scripts to run wouldn't be mostly obfuscated by the url bar, making it impossible to make a selection.

J J (ID: 000000dde7a51409) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/27/2023 I can't believe how useless this extension is. It really is useless. Does nothing.

Sun RA (ID: 0000009adc12a4a1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/14/2023 I like it, but it has a serious problem with freezing up some known good websites, without the ability to allow them on the spot. I'd rather not go into the settings each time to whitelist them.
