How to avoid a survey


Would you like to download a file or access a Web site, but a survey prevents you from doing that? Surveys allow retailers to collecting information and more web sites use them to make money. If you do not want to enter your information, you will get around the survey. You may not be able to access content that interests you, but it's still better than giving your personal information on a dodgy site. Read this article to find out how to avoid a survey.

3 methods to avoid the survey:

Method 1 of 3: Use NoScript


Install NoScript. This extension prevents the appearance of scripts on websites. It does not work all the time, but steadily. This extension is available with Firefox, but it is not yet available with Chrome.

. Open Firefox and click on "Extensions". Look for "NoScript" and add "NoScript Security Suite" on Firefox.


Block scripts to disable the polls. Depending on the programming of the survey, Noscript could help you get around it. When you load a web page, you will see a bar appear at the bottom of your page. Click on "Options" to change what can be blocked and / or bypassed.

          . It is not guaranteed that you can get around a poll with this method. If you really need to                       complete the survey to access a file, this method will not work.

           .Script blockers are also available for Chrome, but they are not as powerful as NoScript.

Method 2 of 3: Use bookmarklet to delete servey:


Install the bookmarklet "XJZ Survey Remover". This is a bookmarklet that you can add to your favorites. When you are on a site that asks you to complete a survey, click on the bookmarklet to delete it.
You can download the bookmarklet XJZ on the developer's site, and it is also available for free. Slide it in your Favorites bar to create a bookmark.



Visit a site asking you to complete a survey. Once the survey will appear, click on the bookmarklet XJZ. The site will be changed and if everything is working properly, you will see hidden content display.

This will only work with surveys that hide content. If you try to directly access a file that will load that when you have completed the survey, this bookmarklet does not work.

You may also install the extension "XJZ Survey Removal" but it is not free and there is no guarantee that it works better than the bookmarklet.

Method 3 of 3: Use "Inspect Element"



Visit a website asking you to complete a survey, using a browser of your choice. This will allow you to disable some elements of a website, including the survey.


Right-click on the survey. Click "Inspect Element" from the dropdown menu. This will open a programming window at the bottom of your browser. When you move your cursor, you will see different parts of the site highlighted on your screen.


Do a search to find surveys. When you place your cursor over the different parts of the site, search the word "survey" and "recovery" in the code. You may find items blocking the content of the page.


Right-click on the codes that you'd like to disable. You will need to right click on the code and not on the side of the page. Click "disable the item" or "delete the item."


Repeat this step with all survey items. You do not have to remove that survey items, but also delete this covers the content you are trying to access.

Delete objects covering your content lighten the page, allowing you to access the hidden content.

Deleting items covering content may remove your scrollbar. You can work around this by using a mouse equipped with a roulette allows you to scroll the page.

Councils

You could do some research to find other extensions blocking the polls, available for Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Most extensions you will not be helpful, because Web sites containing surveys are generally programmed so that you can not get around it.

Warnings

If you must complete a survey to access content, you can not bypass the survey.
Be careful when you download an extension, as you may also download viruses or malware to your computer.
