How to Remove All CSS from a Page at Once

Are you curious to see how a webpage would look without any CSS styling? Luckily, there are a few ways to achieve this. In this article, we will explore a couple of methods to remove all CSS from a page at once.

Method 1: Using DevTools

One way to remove CSS from a webpage is by using the browser’s DevTools. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open the webpage you want to remove CSS from.
  2. Right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac) to open the DevTools panel.
  3. In the DevTools panel, navigate to the “Sources” tab.
  4. Look for the list of CSS files on the left-hand side of the panel. These are the stylesheets that are currently applied to the page.
  5. Click on a CSS file to view its contents.
  6. Delete the entire content of the CSS file.
  7. Instantly, you will see the changes reflected on the webpage, as all CSS styles have been removed.

Please note that this method only affects the browser’s version of the CSS and does not modify the original stylesheet or file.

Method 2: Using JavaScript

For websites that embed CSS within a style tag or have numerous CSS files, the DevTools method might not be practical. In such cases, you can use JavaScript to remove all CSS from the page. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the webpage you want to modify.

  2. Open the browser’s console by right-clicking on the page and selecting “Inspect,” then navigate to the “Console” tab.

  3. In the console, enter the following command:

    1
    document.querySelectorAll('style,link[rel="stylesheet"]').forEach(item => item.remove())

    This JavaScript code will select all the style tags and link tags with a rel attribute value of “stylesheet” and remove them from the DOM (Document Object Model). As a result, all inline and linked CSS will be removed.

By following these methods, you can easily remove all CSS styling from a webpage and see how it looks with plain HTML content.

Note: Removing CSS using either of these methods is temporary and does not permanently modify the webpage or affect the underlying CSS files.
