A NoScript equivalent for Safari! 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!)

Broken in iOS

I'm looking for an app that allows me to block JavaScript on all websites with whitelisting to allow exceptions. Javasnipt looked promising but has bugs. It partly but does not completely block JavaScript. Also, when I use the share function to add a website to the whitelist, I get an error. Adding websites to the whitelist manually through the app works but is not convenient. I hope the developer can fix these problems.

Tried 3 other Safari extension alternatives and none work as they should. This app just works. Very user friendly. Can whitelist from Safari in 2 clicks. Note: Extension won't show up in Safari menu but is enabled if you enabled it from Settings Apps > Safari > Extensions

Does what it says on the tin, but glitchy

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.
