Disabling JavaScript in chrome
I usually go to Chrome content settings. I usually go there to enable / disbale js in chrome. Which is too many clicks. Is there a shortcut to enable/disable JavaScript or access content settings.
PS: enabling it back once it is disabled is easy, as a icon is added to the address bar but disabling is the main culprit
Solution 1:
A simple way is to
- Open the console by pressing F12
- Click the hamburger icon on the right
- Go to "Settings"
- Under "General" check "Disable JavaScript"
Solution 2:
Since Chrome 16, there is an extension named Quick Javascript Switcher that turns Javascript on/off on the fly.
Solution 3:
If you're using Chrome on Windows then you can create a copy of your Chrome shortcut (rename it to Google Chrome no JS
, for example). Right-click on it and select Properties
. Add -disable-javascript
to the end of the Target
field. The end result should look something like this:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -disable-javascript
When you open Chrome using this shortcut then JavaScript is disabled
