Very useful
I really like the simplicity of the app and the value it adds to my usage
It works.
This extension solves that nagging error message, when ur scrolling on an article in a website in Safari and crashes. Thanks.
If you are a NoScript user, this app is for you!
For those that are accustomed to the benefits of NoScript on a PC when using a full web browser, this app is the next best thing. Well done!
Freedom from invasive and aggressive internet activity
Stop the script combined with stop the madness is the only solution on iPhone that can deal with todays emerging cybersecurity threats within Safari. Run it full time, if it blocks a site completely ie most Meta products maybe you should not be using those sites in the first place.
Oh yeah.
Exactly what I needed. I especially love the no-nonsense permission-based blocking which preserves security since this is an extension from a developer I don't know. Great app, thank you for sharing.
Yay it actually works!
Glad I found it, it actually works. Wasted money on other apps before I found this gem <3
NO. 1 app I recommend it
Very highly recommend to all. Purchase it right now you wouldn’t regret it of your life
Edit rules in app
Would it be possible to allow editing rules within the application? There is an application named ‘Pro Script’ on the AppStore that allows this. It would be much easier to be able to do that. As well as import external rules.
Lastly, ‘Pro Script’ allows blocking document, image, style-sheet, script, font, raw, svg-document, media, pop up, ping, fetch, web socket, and ‘other’. It would be awesome if we were able to have finer control over this. Thank you for your work!
Definitely the best app on my phone
If I could only have a single app outside of Safari itself, this would be it. It really makes the web usable again and for folks like me on a metered connection, it ensures that I'm not paying for crap that I never even wanted.
Unclear how to disable from within safari
Once JavaScript has been disabled on a site, it's unclear how to disable this extension without digging through the settings app. Is there a better way to toggle it off?
Invaluable
I don’t typically write reviews, however- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS APP!
Best extension
Definitely the best single app on my phone!
I wish I could use it on my desktop, too.
2 Negative User Reviews for StopTheScript
Could be better
It’s functional, but virtually useless in the day to day. While I realize it is not encouraged to just block everything by default due to usability, concerns Blocking JavaScript by default is a measure that those who care about security and also has the perk of making your phone more intentional. I think it would be better to have forms of manually whitelisting. Instead of actively discouraging blocking. Great if you’re trying to read and bypassing paywalls but besides that very forgettable exte
Cumbersome on MacOS, doesn' work on iPadOS
I was hopeful, but now disapointed. It's just too cumbersome to be practical, especially in view of how well NoScript works in Firefox.
Oddly, while it appears to work (Ialbiet still very cumbersome) on iOS, it apears stuck in "always on" mode on iPadOS, even with the same settings. Both systems are the current release version, 17.5.1.
