There is no way that I know of to interrupt a given script’s execution.

Oxide (the webengine) exposes 3 preferences related to javascript that
we could expose in the browser’s UI:

  javascriptEnabled
  allowScriptsToCloseWindows
  javascriptCanAccessClipboard

If the first one (javascriptEnabled) is set to false, it disables
javascript everywhere. This can be set per webview (i.e. per tab), but
we don’t have a design for that. To discuss this, please comment on bug
#1491253.

Title:
  ad blocks web-browser

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Bq aquaris 4.5 15.04 r24

  Some types of ads can block the web-browser because you just have the option to click in the add pop-up
  Its very annoying since if you restart the web-browser it charges again the add. The only why to avoid it is after restart web-browser be faster than the app to close the window before it'll be charged.
