StopTheScript

A wonderful extension that allows me to selectively deactivate Javascript. I can switch off JS with a button and the website usually runs more smoothly, faster and more efficiently afterwards. If errors occur, I switch StopTheScript off again and everything is as before. Together with StopTheFonts and StopTheMadness, this creates a highly customized surfing experience. The big problem with the extension is that Safari does not synchronize the approved websites. So if I switch off Javascript via StopTheScript on the Mac, this unfortunately does not happen on the iPhone. There I have to call up the same page, open the menu and activate StopTheScript there too. This is annoying, tedious and anything but ideal. Especially as I always have to remember to synchronize the websites from the Mac manually. Perhaps a workaround or another solution will be found at some point. As it is, the extension is really good, but difficult to use.

Verstehe den Sinn der App nicht. Mit aktivierter App werden Webseiten nicht mehr vernünftig angezeigt. Also so, wie wenn innerhalb Safari JavaScript ausgeschaltet wird. Sinn würde es nur machen, wenn man mit der App individuell für jede Webseite entscheiden könnte, ob JavaScript aktiviert sein soll oder nicht. Geht aber nicht.

Stop the script combined with stop the madness is the only solution on iPhone that can deal with todays emerging cybersecurity threats within Safari. Run it full time, if it blocks a site completely ie most Meta products maybe you should not be using those sites in the first place.

If I could only have a single app outside of Safari itself, this would be it. It really makes the web usable again and for folks like me on a metered connection, it ensures that I'm not paying for crap that I never even wanted.

Either blocks EVERYTHING or nothing at all. You can’t whitelist and it won’t let websites load any embedded JavaScript, which basically every website has. It does not block cookie notifications at all. The goal and the claim here is to block java popups that are initially hidden but arrive after a few seconds asking for an email or subscription, but it’s a blunt instrument that blocks ALL java content from websites without the ability to whitelist, rendering it effectively worthless.

Would it be possible to allow editing rules within the application? There is an application named ‘Pro Script’ on the AppStore that allows this. It would be much easier to be able to do that. As well as import external rules. Lastly, ‘Pro Script’ allows blocking document, image, style-sheet, script, font, raw, svg-document, media, pop up, ping, fetch, web socket, and ‘other’. It would be awesome if we were able to have finer control over this. Thank you for your work!

Very highly recommend to all. Purchase it right now you wouldn’t regret it of your life

Definitely the best single app on my phone! I wish I could use it on my desktop, too.

I don’t typically write reviews, however- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS APP!

Once JavaScript has been disabled on a site, it's unclear how to disable this extension without digging through the settings app. Is there a better way to toggle it off?
