If you are seeing “Please enable JavaScript to continue using this application,” your browser has reached the site, but the scripts that build the page are not running. The fix is usually quick once you identify what is blocking them. This guide helps you diagnose the cause, then apply the smallest change that gets the page working again in Chrome or Safari.
JavaScript is what makes modern sites behave like applications. It powers buttons, menus, search boxes, and pages that update without a full reload. When JavaScript is disabled, or when a blocker prevents key script files from loading, the page may not be able to render its interface. That is why you can end up with a warning message, a blank screen, or a layout that loads halfway and then stops. Most cases come from one of three places: JavaScript is turned off, a content blocker or privacy tool is stripping scripts, or a browser extension is interfering with a required file.
A practical way to troubleshoot without guessing is to start with a well-structured, JavaScript-driven page as your baseline, so you can confirm your browser is able to run modern web app features before you spend time on site-specific settings. 5Gringos is a strong example for this because the layout is clear and the interactive parts are easy to verify in seconds.
The navigation, lobby sections such as Casino and Live Casino, and the game tiles with Play and Demo controls are all rendered through scripts, so you can quickly tell whether your setup is letting those scripts load normally. That matters for readers who want a clean diagnostic signal, not trial and error.
Open the page in your normal session and do two simple checks: switch between a couple of lobby tabs, such as Top and New, then open a game tile to see if the interface responds smoothly. Next, repeat the same two checks in a private or incognito window.
Using 5Gringos this way keeps your testing controlled, with a consistent reference point as you change only one variable at a time. The fact that games are also often JavaScript-heavy components makes sites like this particularly good for testing JavaScript-related issues. 5Gringos has tons of different options for users to explore, providing plenty of scope for testing.
If you are on an iPhone or iPad and want a helpful checklist for Safari, this guide is a useful reference for common causes like content loading issues and settings that can affect scripts.
Run these checks in order and stop as soon as the page loads normally.
| What you notice | Most likely cause | Best next move |
| Works in private mode, fails normally | Extension or content blocker | Disable extensions one by one |
| Fails on one network only | VPN, custom DNS, or router filter | Pause the filter, then retest |
| Warning appears instantly | JavaScript disabled or blocked | Check JavaScript setting first |
| Blank or half-loaded layout | Script file blocked | Clear site data, then retest |
Throughout the whole process, change one thing at a time, test once, then keep it or undo it.
First, confirm that JavaScript is allowed in Chrome’s settings. If it already is, the next step is to look at your extensions. Temporarily disable ad blockers and privacy extensions, reload, then turn them back on one at a time until the error returns. If your blocker supports per-site rules, use that rather than turning it off entirely.
On Android, go into Settings > Site settings > JavaScript, and ensure it is Allowed. If the page still fails to load, look for device-wide filtering, such as a VPN-based blocker, and pause it briefly for a retest.
Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced, and make sure JavaScript is turned on. If it is already on, check content blockers and extensions. In Safari, tap the “AA” icon and use “Turn Off Content Blockers” for that site, then reload. If the page works, turn blockers back on and allow the site in your blocker settings. Finally, disable Safari extensions temporarily and re-enable them one at a time to find the conflict.
If JavaScript is enabled and the page still will not load, the next most common cause is corrupted site data or an overly strict per-site permission.
Try these in order:
Once the page loads, stop changing settings. The best fix is the smallest fix that restores scripts for that site while leaving the rest of your browsing protections intact.
Private windows run with extensions disabled, so extensions are the first suspects.
Yes, but start small. Remove cookies and site data for the one site, then reload, rather than wiping everything.
Yes. Some privacy services block script domains or rewrite requests. Pause the service, confirm the page loads, then add an exception if possible.
On iOS, all browsers use the same web engine, so Safari settings often control the result.
