Fixed.

Hi,

i work on converting it to a Bookmarklet and i have some Problems.

The simple removing of the main-class
var obfcontdiv = document.getElementsByClassName('obfuscated-content');
don't functioned in pure vanilla javascript. I think greasemonkey remove this css-class before other javascripts can activated. When i remove this class after full-loading-event nothing happens.

At the moment i work on the Firefox-Webconsole:).

Is it possible to convert your Userscript to an Bookmarklet?

thx

I don't exactly understand what you mean by "vanilla javascript". You're right that greasemonkey apparently kicks in before any other SO-JS is executed and removes the blurring of the subsequent element.
When you don't have GM running, SO loads and executes a script from laterpay.net. This wraps the "obfuscated-content"-div-element in another div-element with a random class-name with the associated blurring CSS-code effectively preventing any JS-code run afterwards from accessing the element with the associated blurring CSS. So if you execute your bookmarklet after the laterpay-script has been executed you won't be able to undo the blurring with the line you quoted.
Possible fixes:

• You could use the ff addon NoScript and prevent SO from loading the laterpay.net-script. Then you should be able to execute the bookmarklet.
• instead of the quoted line, use something like

var p = document.getElementsByClassName('obfuscated-content')[0].parentElement;
p.setAttribute("class", "");
p.nextElementSibling.style.display = "none";

to access the parent element created by the laterpay.net-script (and the following element). I have run this through the closure compile service at google and get something like this which works for me as a bookmarklet (with "javascript"-prefix):
var a=document.getElementsByClassName("obfuscated-content")[0].parentElement;a.setAttribute("class","");a.nextElementSibling.style.display="none";var b=document.getElementsByClassName("obfuscated"),c,d,e,f,g; for(f in b){d=b[f].innerHTML;c="";inElement=!1;openTag=-1;dontTranslate=closingTag=isATag=!1;for(e=0;e<d.length;++e){-1<openTag&&openTag++;g=d.charCodeAt(e);60==g&&(inElement=dontTranslate=!0,openTag=0);if(33<g&&!dontTranslate)switch(g){case 180:c+=";";break;case 178:c+="!";break;case 177:c+="&";break;default:c+=String.fromCharCode(g-1)}else c+=d.charAt(e);1==openTag&&97==g&&(isATag=!0);1==openTag&&47==g&&(closingTag=!0);inElement&&62==g&&(dontTranslate=isATag&&!closingTag,inElement=closingTag=isATag= !1,openTag=-1)}b[f].innerHTML=c};

Have fun!

Funktioniert auch heute noch einwandfrei. Vielen Dank.

Ab heute nicht mehr :-)

Is there any option left?

What kind of option?
About four years ago, Spiegel online changed the way Spiegel plus pages are displayed. Before, they send all content of the articel to the user, pretty lamely encrypted (rather obfuscated) for those not logged in, very easily to decypher.
From then on 95% of the article's text is not send to the web client at all if you're not logged in as a paying user, not even obfuscated or encrypted. This (old) script is purely running on your client, i.e. probably your web browser. You cannot decrypt anything from nothing.

Makes sense, those fuckers...
