I would suggest the author to explain, briefly, how to use the filters in uOrigins in the README.
Thanks for the suggestion, added it :)

#132I use StopTheMadness on Safari and have a lot of similar custom things. For Linkedin I use to get rid of the feed: .scaffold-finite-scroll__content { display: none }
I have that one in uBlock origin.

#133Tangentially related: Has anyone tried the Orion Browser by Kagi for iOS? https://browser.kagi.com/ They claim to support Firefox and Chrome extensions (specifically, uBlock Origin). It's in beta. I'm surprised Apple hasn't blocked it yet, but I'd consider paying for a developer account just to install it on my phone (assuming it works).
Just tried it and it seems pretty cool. I hope they go open source as stated in the FAQ.
Also would love to see a similar browser with vertical tabs for Linux/Windows.

#135Earlier quoted context omitted.
There really are two different version of the internet, and which one you use depends on how how well your ad blockers are configured. I was using my mom's laptop over the holidays, and it took me a minute to realize why every site I visited looked so _different_. What I quickly realised is almost every site I visited was wallpapered in ads: banners between every paragraph, sidebars full of ads, and background images…
What are people using on their phones these days for ad blocking? (iphone specifically). I absolutely cannot stand any mobile website ever- it's insanity.
Cromite, but not for iPhone

lol, I go over to try and solve a react component lifecycle question, and then click over to a Dungeons And Dragons esoteric rule edge case.
Re: My uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
#137Tangentially: after you've blocked a very large number of ads and sidebars, one useful enhancement is to expand whatever text elements remain, to regain use of all that now-empty whitespace. Something like so: :xpath(//main/div):style(min-width: 80% !important) (I've been looking at going a step further for some sites, by annotating a "column-count:" [0] rule and making the screen look like a newspaper. (Narrow colum…
It would be cool if you could figure out a way to have this work on top of FF's reader view.

#138Personally, I can't stand how distracting YouTube thumbnails are. I found this list to block them from the sidebar when watching videos. ! Hide all of the recommended videos on the right side of the page, except for the first up-next video. ! If you have a tall monitor you may need to add more entries, this blocks the initial list on most resolutions. www.youtube.com###items > .ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-render…

Ahah, yes I like Disenchantment a lot. Haven't watched the latest season though.
