Scriptless: Visit websites without running scripts
How to use it
To link to
https://somesite/
use
https://scriptless.xyz/https://somesite/
and the site will be loaded in a special iframe, that prevents it from running javascript.
How does it work?
HTML5 introduced
sandboxed iframes, which can disallow the framed site to run scripts, submit form, and more. This site just displays a full-page iframe of the site with everything allowed but scripts.
Why?
Some sites have annoying scripts and you may want to link to a static version.
Ever read a nice article, but after 10 seconds a "subscribe to our newsletter" popup disturbed you while reading?
That's a good reason not to link the site, as you don't want to annoy other people with it.
Or you can just link it
scriptless.
Limitations
- This sites primary purpose is not to safeguard your whole browsing session, but to create links for single pages.
When you click a link inside the scriptless page, it will still be loaded scriptless, but the url bar will not be updated to the new URL.
- It only works with a recent browser.
For more sophisticated scriptless browsing use the NoScript or uMatrix browser addons.
