JavaScript is an important component in web and mobile browsers. The thing is if you automatically allow JavaScript to run on your web browser, some sites could abuse it and give you a bunch of elements that you do not want like popup ads. By default, JavaScript is set to automatically run in Chrome but you can easily disable it just by following the steps listed below.
