    The latest chrome (10.x) has something called "Click to play" which lets chrome display a little icon where normally the flash/java/silverlight would be. The user has to click the area to play it.

    You can enable that feature by going to 'about:flags' and activate it. After that you can choose under 'Options' -> 'Under the Hood' -> 'Content Settings' -> 'Plugins' what to do when Chrome encounters a plugin.

    browser - Is there a NoScript alternative for Google Chrome?
  • Steve Wright

    I love using Google Chrome, but I don't like visiting sites that have embedded ads/pages that could have malicious JavaScript. Is there something like the Firefox extension, NoScript, for Google Chrome?

    Check out Privoxy. Lifehacker has a great guide on how to set it up.

    Privoxy supports stripping ads, Javascript and nasty pieces of HTML, as well as string-replacement for any web browser. I have used it in the past and I did not notice a speed difference.

    ScriptSafe has come out recently, and beats NotScripts.

    A simple extension that brings some of NoScript's functionality to Chrome while emphasizing simplicity and intuitiveness (no affiliation to NoScript):

    • whitelisting/blacklisting functionality and granular control
    • actually speeds up browsing because it removes a lot of unwanted content
    • ability to remove <SCRIPT>, <OBJECT>, <EMBED>, <IFRAME>, <FRAME>, <APPLET>, <AUDIO>, <VIDEO>, <NOSCRIPT>, and <IMG> elements, as well as webbugs
    • ability to block unwanted content (MVPS HOSTS, hpHOSTS (ad / tracking servers only), Peter Lowe's HOSTS Project, MalwareDomainList.com, and DNS-BH – Malware Domain Blocklist are integrated!)
    • ability to block click-through referrer data
    • "intuitive" icon that changes based on whether or not a page is whitelisted/blacklisted/bypassed
    • shows number of blocked/removed items in toolbar
    • shows blocked/allowed items in tab details popup (along with item type)
    • bulk import domains into whitelist and blacklist
    • option to temporarily allow a page/temporarily allow all blocked items
    • choose the default mode (Block All or Allow All)
    • option to preserve same-domain elements
    • option to disable automatic refresh of pages after whitelisting/blacklisting/temp. bypassing a page

    EDIT: It now takes advantage of the new Content Blocking API in Chrome 17 to block accurately and very, very fast. The above feature set is old, BTW, but I can't be bothered to update it. ;)

    There's a great extension called NotScripts that is based on FF NoScripts

    Check out the response from the NoScript developer as to why NoScript has not been ported to Chrome:

    The reason is very simple: Chrome is still lacking the required infrastructure for selective script disablement and object blocking.

    As a result, you can either block ads or turn off all scripting/plugins - there is no way to white list some sites for scripting/plugins and block others.

    You can use a startup parameter for your shortcut to block java, java script, images, and plugins by appending one of the following to the end of your google chrome shortcut:

    Java : "-disable-java"

    Java script : "-disable-javascript"

    Plugins : "-disable-plugins"

    Images : "-disable-images"
