How to Allow or Block JavaScript in Chrome Computer

JavaScript is one of the most used web technology on modern websites. It creates an interactive website that runs across various screen sizes. However, JavaScript can also be used for hacking the browser by injecting malicious scripts.

Hence, we must be cautious when visiting a website we aren’t aware of. And also, stay away from a website that provides hacking or illegal material. These sites mostly try to inject the code within your browser and gain access to the same.

My younger sister is a very skeptical person in general. She is always very wary about her privacy and other such settings. Yesterday, she came to me to assist her in disabling the JavaScript across the chrome computer. She feared it could be used to hack into her personal information.
