Destroy Entire Websites With Asteroids Bookmarklet

Posted by Soulskill on from the take-that,-ads-with-sound dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Have you ever visited a website and been so frustrated by the content, layout, or adverts that you'd love to destroy it? Well, now you can. If you head on over to the erkie GitHub page there's a JavaScript bookmarklet you can drag and add to your bookmarks toolbar. Then just visit any website and click the bookmarklet. An Asteroids-style ship should appear that you can move around with the arrow keys. Press space and it will start firing bullets which destroy page content."

    The pages that i hate the most are those that make my computer so slow that playing this is no fun. :(

    I got 3910 for this page, wouldn't let me kill the banner for some reason, guess it's bulletproof.

      5320 here, but there were a few more comments by the time I arrived, and differences in our preference settings might account for some of the difference.

  3. Alien vs AlienScientist.... ALIEN WINS by invient · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just used the bookmark on alienscientist.com ..... and after annihilating his website with my awesome alien spaceship skillz ... the server upon refresh says the websites bandwidth has been exceeded .... Why would this happen? I thought this bookmark should only be client-side javascript... so the only reason I can think of that this would cause a drag on his bandwidth would be if he has ajax code that does some loading and if an element does not exist it tries to get it, but I keep destroying it?... maybe I am just the last person to access his site and it exceed his limit (seems to unlikely).... anyone have any ideas?
