Yes, it is possible to disable AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) functionality without disabling JavaScript completely. There are a few ways to accomplish this:

  1. Disable specific AJAX requests: If you have specific AJAX requests that you want to disable, you can disable them by modifying the code that initiates the request. For example, you can add a condition that checks whether AJAX should be enabled before making the request. This can be done using an if statement or a similar conditional statement.

  2. Block AJAX requests at the network level: If you want to disable all AJAX requests for a specific website, you can block them at the network level. This can be done using network-level security software or browser extensions that block requests from specific domains or URLs.

  3. Modify browser settings: Some browsers allow you to disable AJAX requests in their settings. For example, in Firefox, you can disable AJAX by going to the Privacy & Security settings and unchecking the “Enable JavaScript” option.

It’s important to note that disabling AJAX can impact the functionality of a website, as many modern websites rely heavily on AJAX to provide dynamic and responsive user experiences. Therefore, it’s generally not recommended to disable AJAX unless it’s necessary for security or other reasons.
