If you use some style injector plugin (like stylish), you can add this for that page:
#seckit-noscript-tag { display: none; }
and it works fine... (or you can remove the matching div from the web inspector if you are using a browser which has one).
Aside: That one element is blocking an entire working page for no reason. Where oh where has web dev come to :'(
- FreeFull 10y agoFirefox's reader mode also works
- erelde 10y agoIsn't reader mode effectively an adblocker and no-javascript mode ? That will parse the html and return only what it detects as the divs you want to read ?
- UweSchmidt 10y agoObviously it won't block js if js is technically required to render the page, leaving you open to security risks and compromising your privacy.
- erlehmann_ 10y agoIt probably is not “for no reason” – the reason is that the page contains advertising and tracking scripts. The page owner is even willing to lie (pretending that JS is necessary is a flat-out lie if the page works fine without any JS features) so that users enable JS and run those. In 2013, I created a program to visualize what hosts a web site notifies when it is loaded http://daten.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/src/list-web-bugs.py http://daten.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/src/list-web-bugs.py – you can see the output for the article here: http://daten.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/pics/graphs/web-bugs/www.1843magazine.com-web-bugs.png http://daten.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/pics/graphs/web-bugs/w...
- gluelogic 10y agoHey, this is cool! Nice work. I am going to play around with this later.
- erlehmann_ 10y agoI also have a page to visualize German newspapers' tracking: http://news.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/posts/zeitungs-tracking.html http://news.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/posts/zeitungs-tracking...
