Interesting. I wonder how hard would be to create a filter to programmatically eliminate certain sellers from Ebay query results, say those known for selling counterfeit hardware, those with feedback ratings below a given threshold, etc.

#12I've been using uBlock to remove or revert the "improved designs" as much as possible.
Really like the click to remove (and build a filter) to aid in this effort.

#13If you use uBlock Origin, did you try to submit these filters to the uBlock Annoyances[1] or EasyList Annoyances lists before starting up this project? That would help far more people that starting up yet another Annoyances list. 1. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets
These aren't just annoyances, they are core features of the sites.

#16I'm using uBlock similarly! I've accumulated hundreds of custom filters for the past eight years. My newest entries on uBlock's "My Filters" tab are for hiding spoilers on IMDb:

#17There is also https://letsblock.it/filters, a collaborative repository of uBlock content filters, to which I encourage you to contribute your own ones.

#19I use something similar to this, the only differences are because my use case is privacy protection and avoiding algorithmic feeds. I use the Redirector extension for Firefox so that it redirects e.g. Youtube, Twitter, and StackOverflow links to the corresponding alternative frontends Piped, Nitter, and AnonymousOverflow. You can find maintained lists [1] [2] of such projects and their instances. Mostly they are FOSS and privacy-respecting, and they have distraction-free frontends because it's a helpful coincidence of being ethical software.

So? Any corporation would argue that about the annoyances on their properties.
