As you might have noticed (no updates for a long time), unfortunately I didn't have sufficient time to further develop this web extension. While the development of this web extension was exciting, there were very little donations and also some questionable reviews about the web extension.
As Manifest V2 is getting deprecated soon, I decided to end this journey for now and handed over the ownership of the extension on Chrome and Firefox to another party. While I can't say if the code will continue to stay public, I want to point out that I'm not the maintainer anymore and that versions after 2.3.1 won't reflect the source code of this repository.
Thanks everyone who supported this project by writing genuine reviews, donating or simply creating pull requests.
This web extension lets a user decide if JavaScript should be enabled or disabled for a given host or a given tab.
When accessing e.g. google.com and disabling JavaScript, the web extension will block all JavaScript which otherwise would be loaded by google.com (including inline JS and external JS files from other hosts).
Please note that scripts from the blocked host will still be loaded if they're being loaded in another host (unless you block that host as well of course).
Disabling and enabling JavaScript should be pretty self-explanatory.
The icons and labels update for a tab accordingly.
NOTE: On Firefox for Android, no icon will be shown but toggling is possible via a menu item.
See the Add-on page for screenshots.
