Hello, I’m wondering if there is a way to download webpages anonymously, without actually having to visit the website. I want to access this website, but it requires Javascript. So, instead I’m just wondering if theres a way to download the webpage (I want to download the webpage with its functions, like any audio features along with it, for say, Ultimateguitar.com). I recall there being some GNUWebProxy downloading tool or whatever, I just forgot the name of it.

Thank you!

    You could hit the page via Tor to anonymize your access, then use the Save Page As context menu item to save the page.

      Yes, but I would need to enable Javascript, Ultimateguitar.com completely blocks access if Javascript is disabled. Thank you for the tip though! I did not know of that feature.

        There is no way to anonymously access a website that requires Javascript.
        Javascript is code that runs on your computer.
        How is it going to get there without your IP address?

          what you are saying is plain wrong or not explained well. Using tor with javascript enabled you are getting the javascript anonymously, however in the process of running that javascript there is a risk of deanonymisation (for instance, that javascript code could be doing fingerprinting and other bad stuff).
