Key findings

  • High

    Other

    The bundled manifest declares manifest_version 2 and includes the 'tabs' permission, but the published CWS manifest summary shows manifest_version 3 and only 'contentSettings' and 'storage'. This mismatch could indicate a delayed update or a listing discrepancy and should be investigated, though it does not appear malicious in context.

Analyst notes

The extension simply implements a global JavaScript toggle using the chrome.contentSettings API, which is its core purpose. The code is minimal, contains no network calls, data exfiltration, or injection. The ML model likely flagged the contentSettings permission and older manifest version, but these are necessary for the extension's functionality and do not indicate malice. Publisher reputation is good, and the third-party risk score is very low.

About this extension

Enable or disable JavaScript without the hassle.

Read the publisher’s full description

Toggle JavaScript provides a simple, easy-to-access browser button to enable or disable JavaScript globally. It was built with web developers in mind, but is equally useful for anyone who wants to quickly enable/disable JavaScript without having to dig deep into Chrome's Settings panel. Features: - global JavaScript master switch - reloads when toggling to ensure accurate rendering (optional since v1.3) More Info: There are similar extensions that enable or disable JavaScript per-domain, but I find this over-complicated so I decided to build a JavaScript "master switch". Also, similar extensions can cause pages to be rendered inaccurately after disabling JavaScript. This extension uses an auto-reload technique to ensure that pages are always rendered correctly after switching JavaScript on or off. I hope you enjoy using it - if you do, please tell your friends about it and help me out by giving it a positive review. Thanks!
