Description

This app blocks JavaScript on any website. It blocks most: • Ads • Newsletter popups • Cookie requests • Wasted megabytes of third-party JavaScript libraries When you encounter a website with too much JavaScript, just tap share → JavaSnipt → refresh, and voilà! No more interactivity. Alternatively, you can use JavaSnipt to block JavaScript on *all* websites and allow only sites you trust. It's up to you! Some sites, like YouTube, will not work with JavaScript blocked. That's why JavaSnipt targets only sites you select. By purchasing JavaSnipt for iOS, you will also unlock JavaSnipt for macOS. Your blocked sites sync between all your devices via iCloud. The web has too many popups and third-party scripts. It wasn't designed to respect your privacy, battery life, data cap or phone-sized screen. Take back control with JavaSnipt. The crab is Snippy, our mascot. Think of this app as him snipping away the extra JavaScript.

    i wanted this app to stop drudge report from auto refreshing and it did not work

  • one critical missing feature, one bug

    missing feature: third-party JS blocking. Run JS for *.example.com while browsing example.com, but not on any other sites. Would instantly address about 95% of ad and tracking issues. GIANT BUG (for me, anyway): if JavaSnipt is enabled, 1Password doesn't work correctly in-browser. I know the 1P extension uses javascript to function; a whitelist for internal, non-Internet-loaded JS sources (i.e., other extensiosn) is essential, or I can't use this extension. =\

  • Does nothing

    Doesn’t block, doesn’t whitelist, does nothing.

  • It doesn’t actually block JavaScript

    This app does give you the nuclear option if you want it. Fully disabling Javascript is seldom healthy for modern websites, so you have to. know that's what you want to do, but if it is: buy this app. But do so knowing it is glitchy. If you manually enter a blocked URL, it will appear in both the blocked and allowed lists. Which is it? If you use the UI buttons to block a site, it may take several attempts for it to work. But once it does, that Jaavscript is DOA. I'm not sure the nuclear option is really all that useful -- something more targeted is likely more practtical -- but I'm not reviewing what I wish the app did, just whether it does what it says. It does, with some hiccups.

  • It's 2 bucks. Just get it.

    Nearly perfect. Would love to toggle the default as all on or all off.
