Is there any way eo enable and disable javascript? Please let me know as I would like to control how to interact on the web. How can I access it? Are there any ad-ons available that may prove useful for this task? Please let me know how to install them. Thanks
Hello,
For this particular requirement, I would suggest you use Firefox as Firefox has very powerful extension called Firebug.
Firebug lets you control not only the enabling and disabling of Javascript but also lets you inspects the elements in the page dynamically, edit or change them on-the-fly and observe the effects.
There are other methods but as I already mentioned, Firebug is the best and the most lightweight add-on for this purpose.
Every web browser has an option to enable or disable the execution of JavaScript from web pages. If you don’t want any JavaScript running when you visit a website then you should disable this option from the browser. If you are using Opera, click the Opera “Menu” and select “Settings” or press ALT + P on your keyboard.
Next, in Settings, click “Websites” on the left pane then in “JavaScript” section on the right, select “Do not allow any site to run JavaScript.”
If you are using Google Chrome, click the menu and select “Settings” or type without quotes “chrome://settings” in the address bar and hit Enter. In Settings, scroll down to the bottom then under “Privacy” section, click “Content settings.” If you don’t see it, click “Show advanced settings.” On the next screen, under “JavaScript” section, select “Do not allow any site to run JavaScript” then click “Done.”
In Mozilla Firefox, type without quotes “about:config” in the address bar and hit Enter. When you are prompted with “This might void your warranty,” just click “I accept the risk.” On the next screen, in the search bar type without quotes “javascript” then look for an entry called “javascript.enabled”. Right-click it and select “Toggle” to change the value to “false” or simply double-click it.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, click “Tools” and then “Internet Options.” In Internet Options, go to “Security” tab and click “Custom level.” On the next screen, scroll down and look for “Scripting.” Select “Disable” and click “OK.” This should now disable JavaScript from running in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
