How to Skip Surveys

You are trying to access a file or website but are blocked by survey sites. Surveys are how marketers collect information, and a lot of websites use them to make money. If you don't want to enter information, you'll have to find a way to bypass these surveys. Sometimes without taking a survey you can't access the page you want, but it's still better than providing personal information to an unfamiliar website.

Use NoScript

Install the NoScript extension. This utility will block scripts on running websites. It won't block all surveys, but it will work for some of them. This extension is available for free on Firefox, but not on Chrome.

Click on the Firefox icon then go to Extensions (Add-ons). Enter the keyword 'NoScript' in the search field, then add NoScript Security Suite to Firefox.

Block script to disable surveys. Depending on how the surveys are programmed, you can use NoScript to skip them. When you load the page, you will see a bar appear at the bottom of the page. Click Options to fine-tune what to block and ignore.

There is no guarantee that you can skip surveys using this method. If the file you're trying to access requires a survey to be completed, then you won't be able to access it.

Other script blocking tools are also available on Chrome, however they are not as powerful as NoScript on Firefox.

Use Survey Removal Bookmarklet

Visit a site that offers surveys. When the survey appears, click on the XJZ Survey Remover bookmark. The site will be restructured and if all goes well you will be able to access content blocked by the survey. .

This app only works with surveys for content blocking. If you're trying to access content that can only be loaded after completing a survey, this method won't work.
