What is the purpose of JS Disabled while configuring WebView Element?

While using the WebView element, I saw an option called “JS Disabled” in the Data section.

If we uncheck this box, what does it do?

Most modern websites use JavaScript to make pages interactive — think buttons, animations, forms, API calls, etc.

When JavaScript is enabled in a WebView:

  • The webpage runs all its scripts normally.
  • Dynamic content like dropdowns, modals, sliders, etc. will work.
  • The page behaves like it does in Chrome, Safari, etc.

When JavaScript is disabled in a WebView:

  • Only the basic HTML and CSS load.
  • Interactive features won’t work — the page may look broken.
  • Useful for very secure environments or static content.

When JavaScript is disabled:

  • That JS runtime is skipped or blocked.
  • Script tags are ignored; functions won’t run.
