StopTheScript

StopTheScript is a utility app for people who want to stop unwanted scripts from running and keep a browser or app from doing more than it should. Its appeal is very specific: it gives control back to users who care about page behaviour, privacy, or simply cutting out noisy bits of modern web pages. By our assessment, the downside is also plain — anything that blocks scripts can break login flows, embeds, menus, or other site features that depend on them. In practice that means some fiddling, some trial and error, and the occasional page that only works after loosening the rules. StopTheScript sits closer to a power-user tool than a casual cleaner, and it is most comfortable in the hands of people who already know why a page feels heavier than it should.
