Stopping a webpage from refreshing?


Is there a way to stop a webpage that I'm viewing from refreshing? I'm just viewing the page, so I can't control the page. The page uses the following tag to refresh every 85 seconds:


Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="85; URL="/index.php ......">
Is there anything I can do to stop this page from refreshing every 85 seconds?


Thanks for any help.

Why is this in the programming forum?

I think most browsers will ignore refreshing if you just hit the stop button once it's already loaded, but that may not be the case. A more sure-fire (but much more lengthy) solution would be to set up a proxy that strips all refresh tags (or even just for certain pages) and go through that.

Because I thought the only way to do this would be to set up some sort of script.



Thanks for your suggestions.
