Disable Javascript more easily for specific sites?
-
If I want to disable Javascript on a particular site (usually a news website with a badly implemented paywall), I can do it by clicking on the lock icon, going to Site Settings:
and then blocking it from there. That works great, but it's a bit inconvenient and I find myself having to do this a lot (particularly recently due to, you know, the major news going on this week).Is there a way to make Javascript appear right in the shield menu, i.e. right under the Flash setting?

Theoretically yes, but technically no. You'd have to change the 'default' (i.e. what sites have when you don't specify it explicitly for them) to be different from the default (i.e. what Chromium authors put as the 'default'), which, in this case, can only be to block JS (& then you'd have to explicitly allow it everywhere you want it).

@NeatNit uBlock Origin has that convenience, but uBO itself gets around a lot of the types of sites you're talking about so that you don't have to disable JS in the first place. It's been years since I've disabled JS; clearing site cookies is usually all that's needed.
Having this is also a godsend:

Perhaps I wasn't clear. What I want is this:
(this is a mock-up)
I want JavaScript to be an option in this menu, always. Is there a setting to do this? -
@NeatNit Not that I know of. As already mentioned by @potmeklecbohdan, the only way to get this is to change your global default settings regarding JS (set to
Blocked) and enable it on a site basis from the padlock. -
