This free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank).
NoScript also provides the most powerful anti-XSS and anti-Clickjacking protection ever available in a browser. NoScript is a built-in key security component of the Tor Browser, the top anonymity tool defending millions against surveillance and censorship.
NoScript’s unique whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality…
You can enable JavaScript, Java and plugin execution for sites you trust with a simple left-click on the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.
Note: The Chrome download works for Chrome and all other browsers based on Chrome like Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi. The Firefox add-on also works on other Firefox based browser like Tor Browser.
