Disabling JavaScript Using Puppeteer

Updated 1 May 2019

JavaScript can be disabled using Puppeteer. We just need to obstruct requests and block loading if the type of id is “script” . Below is the code for disabling javascript from Puppeteer.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async() => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.setRequestInterception(true);
  page.on('request', request => {
    if (request.resourceType() === 'script')
      request.abort();
    else
      request.continue();
  });
  await page.goto('https://webkul.com');
  await page.screenshot({path: 'webkul.png'});

  await browser.close();
  })();

The webkul.png will look like below image in which javascript is disabled.
