Is there a NoScript alternative for Google Chrome?
ScriptSafe has come out recently, and beats NotScripts.
A simple extension that brings some of NoScript's functionality to Chrome while emphasizing simplicity and intuitiveness (no affiliation to NoScript):
- whitelisting/blacklisting functionality and granular control
- actually speeds up browsing because it removes a lot of unwanted content
- ability to remove
<SCRIPT>, <OBJECT>, <EMBED>, <IFRAME>, <FRAME>, <APPLET>, <AUDIO>, <VIDEO>, <NOSCRIPT>,and<IMG>elements, as well as webbugs- ability to block unwanted content (MVPS HOSTS, hpHOSTS (ad / tracking servers only), Peter Lowe's HOSTS Project, MalwareDomainList.com, and DNS-BH – Malware Domain Blocklist are integrated!)
- ability to block click-through referrer data
- "intuitive" icon that changes based on whether or not a page is whitelisted/blacklisted/bypassed
- shows number of blocked/removed items in toolbar
- shows blocked/allowed items in tab details popup (along with item type)
- bulk import domains into whitelist and blacklist
- option to temporarily allow a page/temporarily allow all blocked items
- choose the default mode (Block All or Allow All)
- option to preserve same-domain elements
- option to disable automatic refresh of pages after whitelisting/blacklisting/temp. bypassing a page
EDIT: It now takes advantage of the new Content Blocking API in Chrome 17 to block accurately and very, very fast. The above feature set is old, BTW, but I can't be bothered to update it. ;)
Check out Privoxy. Lifehacker has a great guide on how to set it up.
Privoxy supports stripping ads, Javascript and nasty pieces of HTML, as well as string-replacement for any web browser. I have used it in the past and I did not notice a speed difference.
Something a little different from NoScript but may be of interest: HTTP Switchboard allows you to block resources from loading, based on their URL and content-type. (Github repository)
Update: HTTP Switchboard has been replaced by uMatrix (advanced) and uBlock Origin (simple). Thanks to Quinn Comendant for the links.
I found it in this answer
Alternatively, to blacklist known trackers and widgets, you can try Ghostery. But that does not address the OP's desire, which was to block all Javascript until whitelisted.
