What Real Users Say About StopTheScript
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Must Have Extension
"I’m questioning the negative reviewers. It’s a fantastic app. IYKYK. Does exactly what you need it to do. Tested on a few articles and it works perfectly. Thank you!"
Does what it says, but what does is stupid
"Ok, my fault. I actually couldn’t believe that anyone would write such a stupid extension, so I assumed that the author worded the description poorly. Joke’s on me. 1. Why would there be no ability to whitelist certain websites? — this is different from enabling the <noscript> tags. Enabling noscript tags still breaks minor sites like Google.com. 2. Why would the choice be all or nothing JavaScript. Why not work like NoScript on every other platform and give a choice of scripts to run vs. block, and allow some to be global and some only for the given website. As designed and implemented, it works, but is useless. As it is currently configured, it is worth about 50 cents. Write a shortcut that turns JavaScript on and off in settings and it would be equally useful. Avoid this until it’s updated to have relevance."
Not functioning
"I purchased, installed, set as extension in safari and still nothing."
If you are a NoScript user, this app is for you!
"For those that are accustomed to the benefits of NoScript on a PC when using a full web browser, this app is the next best thing. Well done!"
