Let user decide what's the default
Hey. What do you think about letting the user decide what is the default? Would that be hard to implement? I got no idea, never wrote a firefox extension. But you could have a toggle "default" with on and off. So everyone can pick their favorite.
Yes, please. I really need a way to set disabled as default. Isn't there a hidden config somewhere?
@pascalwhoop So Sorry, I never starred the repository so never got notified of your comment, I will implement that soon, in few day. Really Sorry for so long wait. I would do that very soon. It is not at all hard.
If you need anything else feel free to open another issue. I would be more than happy to implement new features.
Hi @meetDeveloper, thanks for the interest. Is that ready? I did not see any commit or updates in the extension. The extension I am using right now is driving me crazy and I would very much like to use yours.
@pabgan Sorry Brother, I am getting on it right now, can you tell me what all thing in your extension is driving you crazy, I could better understand the situation that way.
No worries, thank you for your work.
The one I am using now is https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/ I have configured it to JS off by default and disable JS by tab, not by domain.
Is driving me crazy two things most of all:
- It does not have memory or a whitelist for websites where I do want JS always.
- The keyboard shortcut to enable/disable JS does not work 90% of the time, not sure why.
What I would like to do is:
- Navigate without JS to the extent possible.
- When I really need to use a website and it does not work without JS I want to be able to enable it temporarily with a shortcut, (a button as an extra does not harm) .
- If I need to use the non-functioning-without-js website regularly, like the my work's Jira application, then I want to add the domain to a whitelist, with a shortcut too if that is possible.
Thanks again, bro.

@pabgan Sorry, for late reply, I missed a notification for this message, I will look into it and improve my extension, I currently do job, and get little time to work on these things. But will surely take up next weekend and improve it.
@pabgan You may prefer something like NoScript, which provides more advanced control over the scripts your browser loads.
@resynth1943 , thanks for the suggestion. I actually used that one for a long while, but finally moved on, to other options. I don't recall the reason exactly, might be that it is missing a "temporarily allow this tab" or something like this. I have tried a few extensions and all of them miss something that the others have.
I think I am going to have a little bit more free time next year, and I plan to improve any of those, whichever seems easier.
This addon is exactly what I was looking for. But enabling Javascript as the default setting is a bad idea, even if most people want it, because most people do not know how powerful and therefore dangerous javascript is. Please change the default setting to disabled or let the user decide as posted above. We understand, that you have a real life and a job, but please release an update as promised!
