Official documentation: Disable JavaScript With Chrome DevTools
There's now a command menu built into DevTools that makes it easier to disable JavaScript. This has been around as of April 2016 or so.
- Open DevTools.
- Press Command+Shift+P (Mac) or Control+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) to open the Command Menu. Make sure that your cursor's focus is on the DevTools window, not your browser viewport.
- Type
Disable JavaScript(or some version of that... it's a fuzzy search) and then press Enter.
Use the Enable JavaScript command when you want to turn it back on.
