[Bug 1491253] Re: Missing setting to enable/disable javascript

 

Mozilla removed this option from Firefox ages ago, as it makes the
browser unusable for a large amount of sites.

Oxide doesn't support exceptions for this - it's either enabled or
disabled for an entire webview. In the future we'll probably have a way
of blacklisting it for certain sites via
blink::WebContentSettingsClient::allowScripts, which will be hooked up
to site-settings (along with allowImage, allowMedia etc)
