How do I disable Javascript in Chrome?

Solution 1:

Click on the address bar —yea the "omnibox", if you prefer a cooler name— and type chrome://settings/content.

(Alternatively, go Settings and type “javascript” into the search box.)

You can disable JavaScript by selecting “Do not allow any site to run JavaScript”:

It autosaves; you don't have to click Done or anything else.

Indeed, we don't even need a mouse to disable JavaScript and get back to the current page:

1. CtrlT

2. chrome:settings Enter

3. javascript Tab Enter

4. Tab x 6, ▼

5. Lastly, CtrlW to close Settings.

should take about 5 seconds.

To disable JS on Windows, find your Google Chrome shortcut (say, on your desktop or somewhere similar). Right-click it, and go to Properties. In the "Target:" field, put "-disable-javascript" after the quotation marks.

Any better ways?
