Toggle JavaScript in Current Tab = Instantly Disable/Enable Javascript Code for (in) the Current Page

[tellu-white]

I've made a new add-on called "Toggle Javascript in Current Tab" that instantly disables all Javascript code (active on that page at that moment) OR re-enables the execution of the Javascript code that was previously disabled on that page (that TAB).

This add-on is useful for stopping Javascript on pages that are overloaded with code that excessively consumes resources, code that never seems to finish running.

The add-on responds to a click on the add-on button OR to a keyboard shortcut previously assigned by the user.
Accepted keyboard shortcut options : Control, Alt or Shift key ( or a combination of these keys ) + a Letter.

You've made a number of highly useful extensions that you host on mediafire pages, but none of them are available through the Pale Moon Add-on's site, or searchable there. That means that most Pale Moon users won't know about your extensions unless they come into this part of the forum and stumble upon them. Have you considered submitting them for inclusion in the Pale Moon Add-on's site? Or has this question been asked of you before?

First of all, thank you for considering my add-ons to be "highly useful".

I've been asked this question before, and I have to admit that this is a sensitive topic for me, so I'd rather not get into another discussion about it.

If you're okay making some time to check out the post at the link below, you'll get a sense of why I decided not to post my extensions on the Pale Moon Add-on's site:

By the way, this add-on ("Toggle JavaScript in Current Tab") is my first one that has the structure mentioned in the discussion at the link above: default preferences, localization, "maintainable meta data" ( https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=29050#p267008 ), etc.

Actually, you just linked to a discussion in which multiple developers told you they were flexible in reviewing and adding extensions to the Pale Moon Add-on's site. Seems like they were trying to invite you to submit your work.

Maybe you could submit this extension as a sort of a trial run, to see if it gets accepted without much work required on your part?

All I'm saying is that your extensions are useful and important, and most Pale Moon users are not going to know to go hunting in the sub-forums to find them. For example, I see that there is one javascript toggle extension on the Add-on's site right now, but it is old and it is not tab specific like this "Toggle Javascript in Current Tab" that you've made here.

This is a very useful extension. Thanks. I will use it for youtube.

You're welcome, nikola_ss. I'm glad you find my add-on useful.

+1. It's great that you've been working on some others, but I've no idea what they are (and I visit here often).

We've made this easy and hassle-free for add-on developers as much as possible. The only administrative process that you'd have to do at most after submission and approval is just uploading an updated version of the add-on whenever you release a new version.

This certainly sounds easy and hassle-free enough. (from: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.ph ... 50#p267002)

@tellu-white: First of all, thanks again for yet another useful extension.

Now, please try to see this from a user's point of view. Having one extension to search for, download from mediafire, extract, install and repeat all over for each update is not a major pain. But when these extensions start to increase in number, then the "pain" multiplies with unpredictable results.

If the process is easy enough as the Add-ons Team is describing, you should probably at least make one "trial" attempt. The end result, might actually mean less work for both users and yourself.
