Javascript kill switch question
(thelemmy.club)
What's a very easy way to kill all js at a particular domain? Ideally - I'd like some kind of kill switch I can click.
Example link at news4sanantonio.com. The damn site showed me page as normal but for only literally about one second. And then I got that very annoying error message.
The only way I know is via Ublock Origin. I have to write a couple filters and that's annoying.
! news4sanantonio.com
! 2026-02-17 "Oops! Something went wrong!" Yes, that's true - you fuckers!
||news4sanantonio.com^$script
||news4sanantonio.com^$inline-script

Trivia
The number of SCRIPT tags on that page is insane.
- In HEAD 53
- In BODY 128
noscript is a browser add-on that blocks all javascript
Seconding NoScript! I combine it with uBlock Origin, and between the two of them, they catch most of the drive-by crapware out there.
Unfortunately, this doesn't stop something like:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://chapo.chat/" />It can block all scripts, but the current version lets some stuff through by default. You can allow or forbid scripts for each site, so you might, say, allow scripts from hexbear, forbid doubleclick, and leave gstatic on default.
