Ask HN: How to turn off auto-refresh on techcrunch?

5 pointsby expertcsalmost 15 years ago
Lately, techcrunch has added auto-refresh on their website. I understand it must be for increasing pageviews, however, I simply hate it. Can someone help me on how to turn it completely off?

When sites try to increase pageviews artificially it pisses me off.<p>They could've easily implemented a ajax solution to update only the headers section of the site.

If you're using Firefox, there is an option under "Tools-&#62;Options-&#62;Advanced Tab-&#62;Accessibility" - Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload web pages<p>You could use that I think. I've not tried it (and I don't want to visit TC)

You might be able to get it turned off for all of us if you're willing to contact their advertising networks and tell them about it :-)

This caught my eye in the source: setTimeout('location.reload(true)',1200000);<p>The simplest way is to disable javascript.

How about a greasemonkey script ?
