No JS

I downloaded this in my effort to fight the new “Please allow ads on our site” page blockers that wouldn’t go away unless I disabled my ad blocker, DNS blocker, and other important privacy protections. Turns out these new page blockers rely on JavaScript to detect your ad blocker. Turning off JS fixed it, but I wanted something faster than going to my settings every time. This app provides immediate relief from site blocking headaches. So worth it.

No JS effectively disables JavaScript, making it possible to read webpages bloated with popups and other distractions.The app works very well, but I wish it had the feature to always disable JavaScript on specific websites. Right now you have to disable JavaScript on every visit.Still, I found the app well worth it.

As an iPhone 4s and IPad 2 owner, I've become increasingly frustrated with JS-bloated sites crashing Safari. Searched the App Store to see if there's anything that will let you turn off JS in Safari with a single tap. Thought I'd give this a try. While I appreciate the author's effort with No JS, I find that the amount of time involved -- No JS launches an app and reloads the page in a stripped down browser -- is often much slower than simply going to Settings > Safari > Advanced > JS. Sometimes the No JS sequence doesn't seem to work at all, probably because Safari is choked and frozen. Will Apple allow you to directly toggle a Settings setting from Safari? Seems to me a simple on-off tap would be the best way to stop crap JS from hosing your session. Still, some users might find this app useful. For myself, I'm mostly browsing entirely with JS turned off in Safari.
