How to Disable JavaScript in Chrome

2014-08-29 UPDATE: Current version of Chrome has issue

I’m seeing an issue where the Disable JavaScript checkbox is becoming unchecked on refresh (thus undoing the point of this post). More info at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=369844

Current fix seems to be “click Disable JavaScript a bunch of times” (yes, I realize this is a ridiculous fix)
