The new UI is absolutely horrible and confusing.

I can't remember how many time I have disabled restrictions globally and always forgot to turn it off because the icon says nothing.

Damn, I have to agree. The UI (Chrome) is horrendous.

While I agree the change in UI was disruptive, it shows more info and in a more accessible way than before. (At least once one takes the time to learn it.)

If a simpler interface is preferred then it's already possible to blacklist JS in Chrome and enable it per-site by clicking to the left of the page address for the access privileges.

I don't get this. I also thought the new UI was horrible but actually, it makes a lot of sense. You have default, temp trusted, trusted or untrusted.

It really is simple to figure out, if you can't, maybe you need an easier plugin that just toggles JS in general.

I was the same. I switched to uMatrix and found it to be more intuitive and fine-grained.

Maybe you'll enjoy this one: https://github.com/maximelebreton/quick-javascript-switcher. Works well.

I had the same reaction, but persevered with it, stared at it until I worked it out and decided it was really quite usable. Not that hard :) I still use it.
