This kind of misbehavior is why my javascript is off by default.
- downer96 13y agoThe only time I enjoy the presence of JavaScript is during particle simulations. ...well, maybe fractal demos too.
- dredmorbius 13y agoSadly, many of these sites and interstitials are driven by CSS.
- redblacktree 13y agoReally? Do you have any examples I can point my browser at? My experience is that, yes, they're implemented in CSS, but triggered by javascript. Occasionally, I have to inspect the page and add a "display:none;" Alternatively, if a site is totally broken without javascript and I don't want to add an exception for it, I'll open it in another browser. This method is a bit of a pain, but it's the lesser of two evils (for me).
- dredmorbius 13y agoYou're probably right that it's both. That said, you can nuke these with CSS. I've taken to pretty liberally modifying site stylesheets (I've compiled almost 700 of these), and nuking things like interstitials, "social" toolbars, "related content", slide-outs, etc., is high up my list. A few of those are now in my default CSS (the Tumbler teaser most notably). Pretty easy to do using Stylebot (Chrome).
