Good share, this can be useful for my projects !

I agree this is a good share, but sadly, not an option in most (useful) sites nowadays.

On a related note, you can disable it via uBlock Origin plugin as well (at least on Firefox).

Most browsers afaik let you turn off java scripts if you want. Totally breaks sites using java so like you said, not really a viable option.

Javascript !== Java

Eh, I haven't been into programming recently enough to comment one way or the other.

You can buy a coffee for the remove Java folks.

That's fantastic.

Well that's a bit laborious isn't it? I run firefox, always in incognito so no cookies are kept, and at the top of my page is a toggle JS button addon that will do it with a single click, no need to copy paste.

    You have to save passwords manually, that's true, but I only need to add a password about once a month myself so it's a good tradeoff for me.

    There are certain news sites I visit that are littered with video so I use toggle JS option there mostly. I might read 5 or 10 stories off the main page and once JS is disabled globally I can just open each page in a new tab, rather than having to copy and paste 10 pages into the web-based JS. That is where it would be laborious for me.

      The only thing you'd have to copy and paste is the url.

      Yes, 10 fucking times for ten urls of a news page! No thanks.

      You should look into Brave browser, because always using incognito mode seems...

      Well that's a bit laborious isn't it?

      Brave has settings that allow you to block cookies and scripts, or just third party cookies, or you can tell it to clear cookies once you close the browser. There's also a pretty good built-in ad-blocker.

      Also: Mozilla is an SJW company, so supporting them ain't desirable for political dissidents.

      A few sites are putting really obnoxious big banners across their sites asking you not to use adblockers just from Brave. IGN comes to mind.

      Sad cause only recently did anyone even notice Brave was blocking ads. I pair Brave with Blockada which gets whatever Brave misses and is not detectable afaik since it works as a vpn that simply doesn't load ads.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

      I haven't seen any obnoxious banners, not even on IGN.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      I'm glad to see you back btw.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Oh, thanks! I wasn't gone for too long, but I still can't make YT videos, since I have to share a room — but I can still post on Saidit and Gab.

      I'm not seeing it now either but I ran into them when I needed help on the new spider man game.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      Oh, maybe Brave found a way around it, then. It's a cat-and-mouse game.

      [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

      I know I know, but you know how it is, once you get settled into software you're content with it's hard to move around. You raise some good points there though, I tried waterfox but was unimpressed, I'll look at Brave reviews and see what it's about.

      Edit: It's well regarded https://vpnpro.com/web/brave-review/ Here is a good match https://marcodiversi.com/blog/expressvpn-review/

      At least I don't use ie or google chrome like 99% of the users out there lol. And I have a good vpn that keeps me cloaked, you need that in australia just to look at Anime.

      [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      Did Australia ban Anime or so'm?

      Well they passed a law. Tens of Thousands will ignore it and slip through the net, a few will tracked down for accessing the most egregious content, and everyone one with a VPN will be off the radar.

            I disagree, I learned how to rebuild a carb for my snowblower in 10 minutes using youtube. I'm often using the mechanical knowledge on many projects, including how to cook. You hate youtube bc you watch bullshit, not my issue. That's all on you.

            I will never understand why novice developers include jQuery at the cost of 100 KB and an http request. All in order to write $("#some-id") rather than the more easily understood document.getElementById('some-id')

              It was supposed to be a polyfill to support all older browsers, but 99% of browsers now support things like setAnimationFrame, XMLHttpRequest, etc.

              A lot of designers argue that the browser caches jQuery anyways, but modern websites are concatenating all js files into one single file, so that 100 KB has to be redownloaded for everyone. Maybe I am too old, but I see beauty in saving bytes. To me, there is a big difference between if a website loads in 100 ms or 500 ms.

              Both forms are incredibly gay. The only proper way is to write it into machine specific code. None of that pussy assembly either, that's cheating. Break out a hex editor.

              Amen.

              Now all they need to do is apply this to all things.

              Neato!
