Ask HN: How to turn off auto-refresh on techcrunch?
Lately, techcrunch has added auto-refresh on their website. I understand it must be for increasing pageviews, however, I simply hate it. Can someone help me on how to turn it completely off?

- colonelxc 16y agoThis caught my eye in the source: setTimeout('location.reload(true)',1200000); The simplest way is to disable javascript.

- aj 16y agoIf you're using Firefox, there is an option under "Tools->Options->Advanced Tab->Accessibility" - Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload web pages You could use that I think. I've not tried it (and I don't want to visit TC)
- maushu 16y agoWhen sites try to increase pageviews artificially it pisses me off. They could've easily implemented a ajax solution to update only the headers section of the site.
