Hello, I’m wondering if there is a way to download webpages anonymously, without actually having to visit the website. I want to access this website, but it requires Javascript. So, instead I’m just wondering if theres a way to download the webpage (I want to download the webpage with its functions, like any audio features along with it, for say, Ultimateguitar.com). I recall there being some GNUWebProxy downloading tool or whatever, I just forgot the name of it.
Thank you!
JavaScript is often used in modern websites to actually render content, as-in, generate what you see on the page. Blocking access is possible if you don’t have JavaScript enabled, but it’s rare. More likely it’s just not showing content because it’s not there.
Disabling JavaScript in and of itself is not something I understand as a viable way to interact with the internet.
You are better off anonymizing your browser. You can do this by launching separate instances without any profile in incognito mode and only use it on one site before closing it down.
You can also automatically “crawl” websites using tools like headess Chrome and Puppeteer. No doubt there are websites that will do this for you, for a fee.
Ultimately, JavaScript is a programming language, nothing more, nothing less.
