How to stop Drudge Report and other websites from automatically reloading

YesScript 2.0

by Jason Barnabe

A JavaScript blacklist

About this Add-on

YesScript lets you make a blacklist of sites that aren't allowed to run JavaScript. Use YesScript on sites that annoy you or hog your system resources. One click to the icon in the status bar turns scripts on or off for the current site.

Unlike NoScript, YesScript does absolutely nothing to improve your security. I believe that Firefox is secure enough by default and that blocking all scripts by default is paranoia. YesScript strives to remove hassles from your browsing experience, rather than add them.

Well, I think you're wrong. JavaScript is the root of almost all evil on the web and should be enabled only when necessary and maybe not then. Ever hear of zero day?

You may be onto something. Does anyone know how to code?

Drudge Report in particular has caused problems for me as it takes so long to load, and then when I finally get to start reading it, it keeps automatically reloading again and again and again so I can't actually read it. This add on stops those problems. Now Druge Report loads super fast, and never automatically reloads.

I wonder why Drudge uses JavaScript to implement the refresh? You don't need JavaScript to do a refresh. You can just use the <meta> tag, as the following will demonstrate:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1">
    <script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<h1>" + new Date + "<\/h1>")
    </script>
    <title>Demo Refresh via the META Tag</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Note that the above uses JavaScript not to do the refresh but to write the current date/time in order to prove that the refresh is happening.

Some in here tend to get all puffy chested when that time of month comes around.

A ton of talk but if SHTF they would be hiding in the corner.

I come here for information and to compare news worthy subjects but some times all you get is bitchy smart ass responses.

Don’t let it bother you........be like me cause I’m very thick-skinned and the comment part of this site is just that ENTERTAINMENT!

I'm having the same problem with Drudge. Before the page finally loads it refreshes again and I can't even finish reading the headlines!

Furthermore a lot of these news websites are using up so much RAM that my computer sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

“How to stop Drudge Report and other websites from automatically reloading”...

Use Dillo.

I should note that I have no problems with the drudgepage in Opera, by the way.

It's a personal preference for which of the two is preferable.

I'm not the one who said noscript provides security. I just posted the article.

Yeah, but can humble do a "lift"?...
