No JavaScript gives you direct control over JavaScript in Safari. Disable scripts across every website, or keep JavaScript enabled globally and block only the sites you choose. Use it to reduce script-heavy clutter such as autoplay media, animated elements, pop-ups, and some tracking scripts. Pages with less JavaScript may load faster and use fewer device resources. KEY FEATURES • Block JavaScript on all websites with one switch • Create a site list for selective blocking • Block inline and dynamically added scripts • Reveal noscript content when available • Keep your site rules stored locally on your device • No account, analytics, or personal data collection • Light and dark appearance • Designed for iPhone and iPad HOW TO USE 1. Install No JavaScript. 2. Enable the extension in Safari settings. 3. Open the extension from Safari. 4. Choose global blocking or add the current site to your list. Some websites need JavaScript for sign-in, checkout, video, or other interactive features. Turn blocking off whenever a page needs full functionality. Take back control of script-heavy websites with a simple Safari extension.
