Helped fix Google ReCaptcha breaking with mootools

Functionality

Enabling with defaults fixed Google ReCaptcha not working due to mootools. Backend admin continues to work with mootools where expected.

Ease of use

Easy to use in my case as the default plugin settings worked for my site.

Documentation

I used this to: Using with Joomla 3.10.12 and BreezingForms extension to fix Google ReCaptcha fields not working. ReCaptcha checkboxes would simply spin when clicked and never validate. They now work.

Impresionante

No pensábamos ni creíamos que fuera así de sencillo, per resulta funcionar tal como se describe.

Ease of use

En menos de un minuto tienes la extensión funcionando, con la configuración estándar.

Support

No ha hecho falta contactar con soporte, por la facilidad y buena explicación de la descripción.

Documentation

Con la descripción que aparece en JED ha sido más que suficiente para entender el funcionamiento de esta extensión.

I used this to: Un joomla 3.x que tiene conflicto con mootools que no se sabe donde y qué lo carga.

I used this to: Preventing prehistoric Mootools from loading on Joomla 3 sites, and that is exactly what this plugin does!

Functionality

Autoenabled components не винаги дава очакваните резултати. Вижте по-скоро в менютата къде искате mootools и го разрешете само там.

Ease of use

Лесна употреба.

Support

Не е бил нужен.

Documentation

Няма много, но и не е нужна. Вижте блога на автора, защо е хубаво да се изключва mootools.

an effective and user-friendly plugin

I've tried another plugin and editing the index.php and head.php but these did not remove the js error showing up in the console. But this plugin did, straight-off. Enough said. If you need to disable mootools or, at least, control their application this will do it.

Perfect way, no fuss disable mootools

Great, handy plugin.

I was trying to unset(...); mootools on my template, but it was being added again buy some extension's helper.

Tried the plugin and job was done.

Maybe a feature request would be the ability to also disable the system's jquery-migrate and system's jquery.min.

Perfect so far.

Thanks for the work

Perfect fine-tune tool for Joomla website

comparison method of unsetting mootools in index.php, this is much, much better. Because it is more than likely, that once you realize, that you need mootools on some site. And then you can allow it only for that particular site with Enabler/Disabler.
