How to disable CSS in Browser for testing purposes

Is there any way I can disable all external CSS in a browser (Firefox, Chrome...)?

When using slower internet connection, sometimes only the bare HTML is loaded by the browser without the CSS info. It looks like the page has been laid raw on the screen. You would have noticed this with StackOverflow too.

I want to make sure that my web page shows up OK even if the CSS files are not loaded.

I didn't mean I want to convert external CSS to inline. But I want a way to explicitly disable all CSS from the browser so that I can reposition my elements in a better, readable way.

I know I can remove the <link rel='stylesheet'> entries, but what if I have a lot of linked pages?

Expanding on scrappedocola/renergy's idea, you can turn the JavaScript into a bookmarklet that executes against the javascript: uri so the code can be re-used easily across multiple pages without having to open up the dev tools or keep anything on your clipboard.

Just run the following snippet and drag the link to your bookmarks/favorites bar:

<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false --> <!-- language: lang-html -->

<a href="javascript: var el = document.querySelectorAll('style,link');
         for (var i=0; i<el.length; i++) {
           el[i].parentNode.removeChild(el[i]); 
         };">
  Remove Styles 
</a>

<!-- end snippet -->

• I would avoid looping through the thousands of elements on a page with getElementsByTagName('*') and have to check and act on each individually.
• I would avoid relying on jQuery existing on the page with $('style,link[rel="stylesheet"]').remove() when the extra javascript is not overwhelmingly cumbersome.
