Question

A page has the following in the html:

<script type="text/javascript">
  // some code
</script>

My greasemonkey script needs to prevent that script from running. How can I do this?

---

Update: I understand that in the general case this is impossible. However, in my specific case, I may have a loophole?

<script type="text/javascript">
  if (!window.devicePixelRatio) {
    // some code that I -don't- want to be run, regardless of the browser
  }
</script>

Is there some way I can define window.devicePixelRatio before the embedded script runs?

Answer 1

User scripts run after the page is loaded, so you aren’t able to.

Unless, the code uses the “onload” event.

User scripts are executed after the
DOM is fully loaded, but before onload
occurs. This means that your scripts
can begin immediately and don’t need
to wait for onload.
