Javascript can be added to websites to make them more interactive. Short animations, search boxes, infinite scrolling, that sort of thing.

Javascript can also be used in more obnoxious ways, such as pop-ups, tracking, or blocking right click.

Script blockers stop Javascript from running on pages. Depending on the specific extension it may block all scripts or only specific scripts that the extension developer flagged as problematic.
