Disable Javascript in Playwright

Is it possible to define a browser with Javascript disabled to simulate how a crawler would view a page? There should be an option that can be passed.

Solution

  • You can pass javaScriptEnabled in the BrowserContext options:

    const playwright = require("playwright");

(async () => {
  const browser = await playwright.chromium.launch();
  const context = await browser.newContext({
    javaScriptEnabled: false
  });
  const page = await context.newPage();
  // ...
  await browser.close();
})();
