Modern websites have a lot of moving parts. Almost every online magazine and blog runs ads to support the site's staff. With JavaScript enabled, you’re able to see these ads (and support the site as a result).
Most websites require JavaScript to be enabled for all its bells and whistles to work properly, too. For example, if you disable JavaScript in your browser, you can say goodbye to automatic timeline updates on Twitter. With JavaScript enabled, you’re able to take advantage of most features that make websites around the web great.
There may come a time, though, when you want to block ads on certain sites, or see how a website looks without JavaScript enabled. In Google Chrome, you can disable JavaScript completely, or on a per-site basis. If you have a change of heart later on, it’s easy to re-enable JavaScript.
Here’s how it’s done.
The easiest way to access the JavaScript options menu on Google Chrome is by entering this URL in the address bar in Chrome:If you want to get there the old-fashioned way, you’ll need to select the three vertical dots icon in the top-right corner of the browser window.
Towards the bottom of the drop-down menu that appears, select “Settings”.
Find the “Privacy and Security” section and select “Site Settings”.
Finally, click “JavaScript” in the “Permissions” group.
If JavaScript is enabled on Chrome and you’re wanting to see what a specific site looks like without going through the settings menu, you can disable JavaScript from Chrome’s DevTools while you’re on that site. This should only be used for testing purposes, though, as JavaScript will be re-enabled on the site once you close DevTools.
While you’re on the site, open DevTools. You can do this by right-clicking anywhere on the site and selecting “Inspect”.
Alternatively, you can use the Control + Shift + 3 (Windows) or Command + Option + 3 (Mac) keyboard shortcut.
Once you’re in DevTools, open the Command menu by pressing Control + Shift + P (Windows) or Command + Shift + P (Mac).
In the search bar of the Command menu, type “JavaScript”, select “Disable JavaScript”, and then press the Enter key to run the disable JavaScript command.
JavaScript is now disabled for this site. You can hover over the yellow warning icon next to the “Sources” tab to verify JavaScript is disabled.

First, I wasted a time to find a method of payting for a month, to see if this app will work. I do not see any button, or a link, to payment, after I downloaded Beebs from the Chrome Store. I assume that there is a short period of free trial of this app but the BBC live stream does not work even after I enable Beebs on Extensions. Disappointing.

If an UKers can help me with this, I am struggling to watch BBC Iplayer. It tells me I cannot do this unless Javascript is enabled... but it is! I've had this problem before, but it is usually erratic, and often enough google chrome will work just fine, but neither Firefox or Google Chrome will let me watch BBC, claiming I need to enable Javascript which is already enabled!
