The “Settings” menu in Chrome offers users a variety of ways to customize their browsing experience. By navigating to the “Advanced” settings, you will find more specific options related to the browser’s security and data settings.

The “Site Settings” is under the “Privacy and security” panel. It contains all the settings linked to how websites on Chrome can interact with your computer. Here, you can control permissions for various website features, including JavaScript.

Please note that while this can improve security or loading speed, it might also result in some websites not displaying or working properly.
