Fix the "JavaScript is disabled" browser message
Feb 22nd 2026
A required site feature failed to load because your browser blocked JavaScript; here is what it means and quick steps to restore functionality.
- The message means the website needs JavaScript but your browser or a setting blocked it from running.
- Common causes are JavaScript turned off in browser settings, script-blocking extensions like ad blockers, strict privacy settings, or corporate network rules.
- Enable JavaScript in your browser, disable or whitelist the site in extensions, clear cache, and reload the page to restore functionality.
- If that fails, try a different browser, update your browser, or open a private window to rule out extensions and cached issues.
- Only enable JavaScript on sites you trust because scripts can execute code and collect data.
