Protip: in Safari you can assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle javascript (Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts -> [+] -> Application: "Safari" Menu Title: "Disable JavaScript" Shortcut: "Cmd+Shift+J". >90% of websites immediately become massively more pleasant and you can quickly toggle it on when actually needed.
For mobile devices, easiest way is to use two different browsers (one with JS disabled).
- wtmt 7y agoI presume this toggle applies to all windows and tabs. As an example, if some page uses a meta refresh tag to periodically refresh it and also has JS (which wasn’t loaded before), the JS would get loaded at a future point when it’s enabled through this option (though it may be for some other tab in focus that the user enabled it for)? A per tab setting that remembers the JS enabled state would be very useful, with the default being JS disabled.
- patrec 7y agoYeah, it's global, and unfortunately I believe that Apple has gimped extensions so something like NoScript is no longer possible. If you need granularity or whitelisting of domains, I'm afraid you need another browser. On the glass half full side, being a global switch means it's less mental overhead – you have a single additional modal bit instead of O(tabs).
