How to Disable JavaScript in Google Chrome

Do you want to disable JavaScript in your Google Chrome browser for security or compatibility reasons? This guide will walk you through the simple steps to disable JavaScript globally and also how to create exceptions for specific websites.

Steps to Disable JavaScript Globally

Follow these instructions to disable JavaScript for all websites by default:

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click the three dots (the Chrome menu) in the top right corner of the browser window.
3. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
4. In the lefthand navigation menu, click on Privacy and security.
5. Under the Privacy and security section, click on Site settings.
6. Scroll down to the Content section and click on JavaScript.
7. Select the option 'Don't allow sites to use JavaScript'. This will disable JavaScript globally.

Creating Exceptions for Specific Websites

If you want to disable JavaScript globally but still allow it for certain trusted websites, you can create exceptions. Here's how:

1. Follow steps 16 above to reach the JavaScript settings page.
2. Under the Allowed to use JavaScript section, click the Add button.
3. Enter the website address (e.g., www.example.com) and click Add.
4. The website will now be listed under the Allowed to use JavaScript section, and JavaScript will be enabled for that specific site, even though it's disabled globally.

By using this exception list, you can finetune your JavaScript settings and enjoy a more secure browsing experience while still allowing essential functionality on trusted websites.

Remember to refresh the webpage after making any changes to JavaScript settings for the changes to take effect.
