When i'm trying to paste some code from browser to Emacs, it will indent code automatically, is there any way to stop Emacs from indenting temporarily like :set paste in vim?

The easiest way with emacs24 is:

M-x electric-indent-mode RET

That disables auto indentation.

Paste your thing.

renable

M-x electric-indent-mode RET

Or just M-x UP-Arrow ;-)
