Description

This is a feature request, not a bug report. It's not clear where these should go.

uBlock Origin for manifest v2 had the option to disable JavaScript for a page. This functionality doesn't seem to have made it to uBOL. However, I think it can still fit nicely within the declarative design of uBOL. It seems that you can use "resourceTypes": ["script"] to block external scripts under manifest v3. I understand that this wouldn't stop inline JavaScript, but I suspect it would help in a majority of cases where the offending JavaScript is external.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to a page
2. Open the extension window

Expected behavior

As in uBlock Origin, there should be a "disable JavaScript" option

Actual behavior

No such option exists.
