Because any other solution uses scripts that run in the gateway, not in the browser. If it was easy, or even just moderately difficult, it would have been done by now. > [@Carly\_Jankowski](#): > > this being a non-safety issue Some future developer will copy your questionable code and use it for something more significant. I strong recommend you **not do this**.
