Bug Description

Per UX specification (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Qrd4Flfs3EH-fI79IfrYgLdAx2nce-L7ve8NKLCX324/edit#slide=id.g3ddd7bb9c_07), there should be a top-level setting to allow the user to enable/disable javascript.

Will be a good idea configure exceptions if you disable/enable javascript option.

Mozilla removed this option from Firefox ages ago, as it makes the browser unusable for a large amount of sites.

Oxide doesn't support exceptions for this - it's either enabled or disabled for an entire webview. In the future we'll probably have a way of blacklisting it for certain sites via blink::WebContentSettingsClient::allowScripts, which will be hooked up to site-settings (along with allowImage, allowMedia etc)
