title: Google Chrome extension - how to turn JavaScript on/off?
body: <p>Is it possible to <strong>turn JavaScript on/off with a self-made Google Chrome extension</strong>?  </p>
  
  <p>For example, in Opera browser, there are simple possibilities to do that with widgets, <a href="http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons#quickprefs" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Opera - Quick Prefs Toggle Buttons, all with images">user-made buttons</a>, etc., but I didn't find any solutions to do that in Chrome (my first source was the <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/overview.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Google Chrome Extensions - Overview">official Google Chrome extensions' documentations</a>).</p>
  
  <p>A strange aspect is that I need JavaScript to run the extension itself...if I'm able to turn JavaScript off with an extension, can I still use JavaScript in my extension after doing it?</p>

  <p>Edit: </p>
  
  <p>It's already possible to do it via <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/contentSettings.html#property-javascript" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="chrome.contentSettings.javascript">chrome.contentSettings.javascript</a>!<br>
  See <a href="https://github.com/maximelebreton/quick-javascript-switcher/blob/master/core.js" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="quick-javascript-switcher / core.js">this example</a> which shows how to use it (<strong>Quick JavaScript Switcher</strong> extension, which <strong>mlb</strong> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/7673539/517705" title="mlb&#39;s answer - Quick JavaScript Switcher">linked here</a>).</p>
