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
I've seen news sites that sow normal for a second then flip to a paywall but I can't find any way around it.
In terms of your specific question is this it? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering it's over my head. I assume clicking the button in ublock origin to turn off javascript doesn't work as hoped... it basically never does what I hope it would do.
I think if I google "kill javascript extension" google might actually work for once.
The problem is if I go to example.com and it's annoying - as far as I know - UO doesn't have a way to just kill the fucking js with a click.
You can disable all js by a button in the main pop up
When I right click something in ff with ublock origin installed, I get an option in the menu to "block element..." which brings up an interface to select what to block
As far as I could figure out - the real page was entirely missing.
Did you try reader view (in ff, the little page icon on the right side of the address bar just next to the bookmark star)
I can see the whole text of the article in your OP with that.
So the page is there. Hmm... I'll have a look.
