Prevent Script from loading normally

Question

I am creating a Chrome Extension for a webpage. The page has a script execute which changes the way the page is displayed by removing or emptying elements. I found the <script> tag that I need to delete or stop from executing. Is there a way to load the page into memory, parse it remove the <script> tag and then load normally?

The only way I can remove the code via Javascript as of yet is to use Chrome Inspector to disable Javascript and then run the following code.

var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
   for (i=0, max=scripts.length; i < max; i++){
      var currentS = scripts[i];
      var xInner = currentS.innerHTML;
      if (xInner.indexOf('jsMenu1') < 1){
          currentS.parentNode.removeChild(currentS);
      }
   }

You could take a look at this possibly but I'm not sure if it would completely fix your issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9298839/is-it-possible-to-stop-javascript-execution — mattfetz, Jul 08 '15 at 22:36

Strange Request. This will work.

$(document).ready(function() {
   var $html = $('html');
   var $script = $html.find('script#scriptToRemove');
   $script.remove();

   var htmlStr = $html.html();
   $html.html(htmlStr);
});

I don't think so, as in `ready` the script you're removing has already been executed – eithed Jul 08 '15 at 22:58
I do think so, this was tried and tested. This reloads the page with the appropriate content. – Allen Tellez Jul 09 '15 at 15:09
If the requirement is to not see the initial content, simply add css body { display: none } until after this script has executed. – Allen Tellez Jul 09 '15 at 15:18
