None of that is accessible in the normal user interface, nor is there an easy way to disable any of that stuff from happening in the first place. As said, we used to have buttons to disable Javascript, CSS, image loading and cookies straight in the main menu, no addons or developer tools needed.
We wouldn't have needed EU cookie banner laws if browser didn't stop making cookie storage obvious. Lynx is about the only browser left that still makes cookie storage an explicit action. A Stop button that actually stops a webpage from executing Javascript in the background would be welcome as well.
Browser have long given up trying to be document viewers that serve the user and just turned into advertisement displays.
- javajosh 4y agoYou can turn off JavaScript execution in all browsers by going to about:config and setting javascript.enabled=false. It's not a button, but I think it's okay. Browser have long given up trying to be document viewers... I know, and isn't it wonderful? Its very cool to have a truly cross-platform, graphical, debuggable environment! Plus the two best ones are open source (Firefox and Chromium).
