Chrome/Chromium's V8 engine is a joy for Javascript execution, but even it can't help on webpages where the code is so bad that it's effectively broken.
What I'd like to be able to do is open those pages with Javascript disabled, which usually bypasses the problem while letting me get to the content on the page. Even better would be the ability to also block the page from requesting external domains for gifs, scripts, etc. (e.g. I want to view www.xyz.com/default.htm and it calls www.slow-ass-scripts.com, www.annoying-ads.com, etc. for unwanted fluff). Sometimes I can "zap" the scripts with a bookmarklet, but if not, my current method for handling such pages is to use an older browser (one with Javascript turned off), or in extreme cases, wget to grab the html file and reading the contents an HTML editor. It would be far more efficient for me to be able to turn off Javascript selectively (by session) within Chrome. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
