What you need to do is click on the settings icon in the top right corner of the browser window and select Settings from the context menu there. You won't find them in a popup window anymore. New Google Chrome Content SettingsĬontent Settings in Google Chrome are now displayed in a different way. With those settings however it can very well be that the Chrome developer's have created the foundation for a successful port of NoScript. Before that the developer simply stated that the Internet browser was not capable of blocking scripts like JavaScript (all those ad blockers and script blockers for Chrome hide the scripts which means they are still executed). These Content Settings might however mark the first step of a conversion of the popular NoScript to the Google browser. If you look at how the Firefox web browser is handling those global settings by default you will notice that it uses similar options than the Chrome browser. But it is of course unfair to compare standard browser contents with an add-on. NoScript for Firefox for instance does that better by providing the controls in the web browser's status bar and offering to block or allow scripts individually. This icon can be used add that website to the whitelist so that the content type will be loaded on future visits. Google Chrome displays an icon in the address bar if a script was blocked on a website. This means that the user has to copy and paste (or write) the urls of all pages that should be excluded from the global blocking into the Content Settings form.

The exception list needs to be edited manually. That's however nowhere near as comfortable as it sounds. It is for instance possible to disable JavaScript or Plugins globally, and use an exception list to allow the execution only on trusted sites. The Content Settings in the Google browser are divided into the five tabs cookies, images, JavaScript, Plug-ins and Pop-ups each with the means to control the display or creation of those items in the web browser.
