Disabling noselect Javascript on Snopes?

[sremick]

I'm wondering if there's any way I can use Adblock (I also have Element Hiding Helper) to disable the Javascript on Snopes.com (and other sites) that prevents you from selecting text?

I've considered Noscript but it doesn't work the way I want (allow Javascript on all sites EXCEPT those on a blacklist).

Actually I'm pretty sure you can set NoScript up the way you want. Allowing scripts until you block it (blacklisting). It's just not as easy as it could be. However, have you tried YesScript? That might work better for you.

I think Adblock Plus can do what you want as well, I'm just not good with making filters so someone else will have to help you out with that part.

No, Adblock Plus cannot help you with this. However, just typing this into location bar will make the text selectable again:

Code: Select all

javascript:void(document.onmousedown=null)

You can add this as a bookmark if you have to use it frequently. Or make it a GreaseMonkey script...

Noscript will still do too much for what he wants. Even if you configure it to be as lenient as it can be, it will still block all 3rd party scripts by default.

Yesscript will work much better for what he wants.

Actually, although I have since installed Yesscript, that Javascript bookmark is by-far my favorite solution to the problem. It worked beautifully! Thanks for all your help, guys.

Yes, I agree that's why I suggested it.
