禁用当前页面的JavaScript

Question

I'm building a debug script that is to be included at the top of my index.php

I would like to provide a checkbox that when checked, disables all javascript, jquery etc on the page.

I'm saving these settings with $_SESSION

I've already found a soloution that replaces all <script></script> tags with <!--<script></script>-->. But would like to know if there is anthing cleaner, more specific.

Since the file is included at the top of my index, could I write something in javascript to unbind any events/listeners/triggers etc?

I would prefer not to change any of my javascript, as the idea is to include this at the top of each project/build as a standalone piece. Thanks!

You can't disable JavaScript with JavaScript.

Simply put, you can't make sure your JS is the first to execute, nor can you reliably disable scripts all over the page.

Imagine how that would mess with normal browsing... Some malicious site disables JS on your browser, and you're gonna have to figure out where the setting is.

I'm sure that you can dream about resetting it, after an hour or 2 of browsing.
