Tab title flickering prevention.

[LJISAMoige]

I've been trying to stop tab titles from blinking ten times a second because that's insufferable.
I've set up to replace ([_a-z][a-z0-9_\s]*\.\s*)*document\s*.\s*title\s*= by nothing in scripts, but no luck.
It is a regex, I've checked apply auto both on page load and every second, and replace scripts, but it doesn't seem to work?
If I f12 the pages and search their js code for that same regex I'll get the incriminated matches, here and untouched.
Is this not possible with this extension, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, you have to go to the options page and enable the "Replace scripts" option.

If the script is in the head you have to set the HTML mode to input & output. Note that this can break some pages, but you can can try if it works for you and restrict it for this page..

The site I'm testing this on has the script referenced in the body of the html. I'm willing to try your solution, but I don't know how to do it. I'm using firefox as a browser. Could this issue be related? #309

I have created a basic example where the title is changed every second. Even if the script node is deleted the title keeps changing because there is a timer create with window.setInterval that remains active. Your only option is to redefine that function before it's called. With FoxReplace you can't because substitutions are applied on body load, but I think that with Greasemonkey you can a script a little sooner. With this you could just do window.setInterval = function() {}.
