Awesome
I use this on my Mac and all iOS devices, it’s perfect for browsing all those “your ad blocker is stopping the page from loading” sites, simply enable it for that website when you see that message and they can’t tell if you’re using an ad blocker anymore.
Just don’t enable it on all websites

Works Great
It allows me to block JavaScript on all websites while allowing me to whitelist trusted websites or websites that do not abuse JavaScript.
Must Have Extension
I’m questioning the negative reviewers. It’s a fantastic app. IYKYK. Does exactly what you need it to do. Tested on a few articles and it works perfectly. Thank you!
Good on macOS, but not great on iOS
On macOS, you can disable javascript on all websites and only enable javascript on some websites that require it. However, iOS cannot do this. Yes there is a filter (in safari extension settings) in iOS where you can enable javascript for a select website and keep all other websites without javascript, but this is bugged for some reason and does not work unlike macOS.
So if you’re solely using this for macOS, this is a good app. However, if you need it for iOS as well, you should decide if you need the feature I explained. If that’s not important for you, then it’s good for iOS as well.

Breaks YouTube?
Horrible app. I installed it and went to YouTube which no longer loads. Deleted the app. Reinstalled again followed instructions EXACTLY. Same result. Waste of money. Avoid John Gruber recommendations!!
Response from developer
Did you allow StopTheScript on all websites? The instructions actually warn not to do that. Some websites do require JavaScript, including YouTube, so you don't want to allow StopTheScript there. Neither Gruber nor I recommended the extension for YouTube.
