* Rationale

Many sites break down completely and do not function at all if you
will not execute their javascript. However, some sites like [[http://www.ebay.com/][ebay]] can
function in part without javascript, but refuse to cooperate and
hinder the user by covering the page with a [[http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_noscript.asp][noscript]] mask that blocks
the user from accessing anything on it. So, to get around the problem,
I wrote a trivial ([[http://www.greasespot.net/][greasemonkey]]) user script to remove the noscript
mask by setting its [[http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_display.asp][CSS display property]] to /none/.

#+CAPTION: ebay.com with noscript mask
#+ATTR_HTML: :alt ebay.com with noscript mask
[[tree:ebay-with-noscript-mask.jpg]]

#+CAPTION: ebay.com with noscript mask removed by greasemonkey user script
#+ATTR_HTML: :alt ebay.com with noscript mask removed by greasemonkey user script
[[tree:ebay-without-noscript-mask.jpg]]
