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."

  5. Debris Belt by kbob88 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Of course, pretty soon you've got millions of small pieces of web page debris orbiting your browser. Then your real, working web pages run a real risk of getting hit and destroyed by a piece of debris at over 20,000 mph, thus contributing even more to the debris belt. And when the Chinese start testing their anti-web-page rockets and making even more debris? Well, it's pretty much game over for the Intertubes at that point...

      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.

    When you say something like "fails in chrome" don't you think it would be a good idea to have actually tried it?

    What he meant was "I fail in chrome 6." ;)

  10. 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?
