Meh, no script does that quite well, not?
No it doesn't, you want to be able to turn off JS while it is running, and that is now impossible. Noscript stops it from running in the first place and that breaks too many sites.
You can do it. F12->debugger->cog->uncheck "Show paused overly", click the pause button. Very very few sites still work well that way. It just doesn't make sense to have this functionality in a HTML5 world.
