Must have Safari extension! Should be under top 10 utility for privacy!

Tried 3 other Safari extension alternatives and none work as they should. This app just works. Very user friendly. Can whitelist from Safari in 2 clicks. Note: Extension won't show up in Safari menu but is enabled if you enabled it from Settings Apps > Safari > Extensions

Broken in iOS

I'm looking for an app that allows me to block JavaScript on all websites with whitelisting to allow exceptions. Javasnipt looked promising but has bugs. It partly but does not completely block JavaScript. Also, when I use the share function to add a website to the whitelist, I get an error. Adding websites to the whitelist manually through the app works but is not convenient. I hope the developer can fix these problems.

I’m sorry to hear that! Could you email nazariosoftwarellc@gmail.com with what the error is?

It works

Simple and easy to use.
Tried another app and it was too complicated to be useful. This one is fast and intuitive ... Thank you

Superb

I wanted to block JavaScript on one site. This app does it perfectly.

Install, enable the extension in Safari settings, add a domain (or multiple domains), choose whether JavaSnipt should block or allow Java to run on the listed domains.

Instant result. Thanks.

App doesn't work

I added a site to Block JS On Listed Sites, but it is also showing in the Allow JS on Listed Sites. So is it really blocking or allowing? I don't see any difference to the site to be honest. I'm running Safari on MacOS v14.

Response from developer

Ken, sorry the UI wasn’t clear. JavaSnipt blocks JS on listed sites if you click that option. If you click Allow on These Sites, it’ll block JS everywhere except the listed sites. If you have any other questions, please reach out to me at nazariosoftwarellc@gmail.com. Hope that helps!

Works great

Those of us who need this product and understand it’s purpose recognize the value it adds to online safety and battery life. Works absolutely great. Thank you for maintaining this!

Thank you so much for the kind review!

Breaking websites including gmail and imgur

I’m unable to use important websites such as gmail and imgur without completely dialing content blockers or the JavaSnipt extension.

I’ve isolated it to this one extension by disabling all others, the websites remain non functional until JavaSnipt is disabled.

I purchased JavaSnipt over StopTheMadness, which was on sale because JavaSnipt seemed like a far more practical solution but choosing between disabling all content blockers, disabling JavaSnipt completely or using gmail is not an acceptable solution.

Does what it says

Brilliant, highly recommended. A few glitches in the UI toolbar button, and a few crashes. Otherwise it works very well.

does not work

i wanted this app to stop drudge report from auto refreshing and it did not work

Response from developer

Ken, can you email nazariosoftwarellc@gmail.com? I’d be happy to help figure out any issues you’re running into.

one critical missing feature, one bug

missing feature: third-party JS blocking. Run JS for *.example.com while browsing example.com, but not on any other sites. Would instantly address about 95% of ad and tracking issues.

GIANT BUG (for me, anyway): if JavaSnipt is enabled, 1Password doesn't work correctly in-browser. I know the 1P extension uses javascript to function; a whitelist for internal, non-Internet-loaded JS sources (i.e., other extensiosn) is essential, or I can't use this extension. =\

Response from developer

This feature is available! Open the JavaSnipt app and click "Allow These." Now, only sites listed in the app will allow JS. Also, sorry to hear you've had issues using it with 1Password. I just tested it and it works for me.

Excellent

I can now allow only specific websites to use JS and enjoy a faster and safer Web.

Does nothing

Doesn’t block, doesn’t whitelist, does nothing.

It doesn’t actually block JavaScript

Title says it all

works great

works great! just what I needed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Response from developer

I apologize - the email address on the support page was wrong. Thank you so much for letting me know - I've updated it. If you email nazariosoftwarellc@gmail.com, I would be happy to help troubleshoot your issue. The email will go through this time, I promise :)

Does what it says on the tin, but glitchy

This app does give you the nuclear option if you want it. Fully disabling Javascript is seldom healthy for modern websites, so you have to. know that's what you want to do, but if it is: buy this app.

But do so knowing it is glitchy. If you manually enter a blocked URL, it will appear in both the blocked and allowed lists. Which is it? If you use the UI buttons to block a site, it may take several attempts for it to work. But once it does, that Jaavscript is DOA.

I'm not sure the nuclear option is really all that useful -- something more targeted is likely more practtical -- but I'm not reviewing what I wish the app did, just whether it does what it says. It does, with some hiccups.

It's 2 bucks. Just get it.

Nearly perfect. Would love to toggle the default as all on or all off.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind review! In the main JavaSnipt app, you can click “Allow These” to allow JS on only the sites added to JavaSnipt. If you click “Block These,” it will block JS on your selected sites. I think that’s what you’re asking for? If not, would be happy to hear more at nazariosoftwarellc@gmail.com.

Finally

Been checking on and off for a noscript browser to read news sites for years. Works exactly as advertised.
