User reviews
Reloads alls tab whenever it is toggled, this behaviour is annoying and should be given an option to turn off. Otherwise good and the most lightweight Javscript toggler.

Good, but turning on/off JS for ALL open tabs is not what I was looking for, because it triggers a reload of all tabs.

Very good plugin, and thanks for making this OSS – an option to only toggle the current tab instead of reloading all others would be most appreciated!
