JavaScript Blocker is a Safari extension that puts you in control of the web—similar to NoScript for Firefox *. It will make your browsing experience safer, more secure, and more enjoyable. Learn more about how webpages collect data on you for tracking purposes over at FixTracking.com, a guide by DuckDuckGo.
Key Features
- Quickly and easily block advertisers, tracking agencies, and social media networks from monitoring your online activity.
- Prevent websites from knowing how you reached them.
- If you visit a short URL (e.g. http://bitly.com/nLn1ty), a pop-up will tell you where you'll end up.
Extra Features*
- Snapshots creates automatic backups of your rules so you never have to worry about messing them up.
- Expert features allow for fine-grained control over which resources are allowed or blocked.
- Block frames, embeds, objects, videos, and images in the DOM.

*Unlike NoScript, this tool only blocks scripts when they are loaded from an external file or a data URI. What this means is that any scripts that are within the page itself can still run. Usually this is enough to remain safe on the web and block trackers, advertisers, etc. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the Safari extension design, not mine.
