Question

I need to stop all the javascript running on the page, but I have a limitation:

I cannot control the tags content, I am editing the page after it’s being loaded.

Also, I need to remove all the variables defined by the old script that was running and stop all the intervals.

The solution I thought to stop intervals:

for(var i=0,s=setInterval(function(){},1e10);i<=s;++i)
    clearInterval(i);
for(var i=0,s=setTimeout(function(){},1e10);i<=s;++i)
    clearTimeout(i);

Answer 1

Basing off of Matchu’s suggestion. You could get a copy of Fiddler, modify the page locally to suit your needs, have Chrome proxy through Fiddler. Then you can tell fiddler that when it sees a request for the page of interest, serve the local file instead.

I’ve done something like this before to debug some Javascript compiled into a .NET assembly, so I wouldn’t have to recompile for every script change, just refresh the page.
