Most websites rely on JavaScript for interactive features, forms, video players, menus, and other functions. Google Chrome normally allows JavaScript, but you can check the browser’s site-permission setting if a site says JavaScript is disabled.
How to Enable JavaScript in Chrome on a Computer
- Open Google Chrome.
- Select the three-dot menu, then select Settings.
- Select Privacy and security.
- Select Site settings.
- Under Content, select JavaScript.
- Choose the option that allows sites to use JavaScript.
Allow or Block JavaScript for a Specific Site
Chrome’s JavaScript settings can also contain site-specific exceptions. If JavaScript works on most websites but not one particular site, check whether that domain appears in a blocked list. Likewise, you can keep the general setting enabled while applying a different permission to specific sites when Chrome offers that control.
What If JavaScript Is Already Enabled?
Reload the page, check whether an extension or content blocker is interfering, and make sure Chrome is current. A broken website can also produce a JavaScript-related error even when the browser setting is correct.
Is This a Windows 10 Setting?
No. JavaScript permission is a Chrome setting, so the basic Chrome procedure is not tied to Windows 10. The labels can change slightly as Chrome is updated, but the setting is managed under Chrome’s privacy, security, and site-permission controls.
Summary
Open Chrome > Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > JavaScript and make sure sites are allowed to use JavaScript. If only one website has a problem, inspect its site-specific permission before changing the setting for every site.
