Thinking about starting public uBlock filter lists for (individually):
- "Related Content"
- pullquotes
- interrupting popovers
- cookie banners
- autoplaying videos on articles
Since I'm going through the trouble to block those things anyway, might as well share it, right?
Not much in these yet, but here it is: https://github.com/madewokherd/ublock-filter-lists
If you want to use this, please send me examples of stuff you want rid of, as you encounter it. Let's squash all those unnecessary distractions that get in the way of reading websites.
Went back to the uBO defaults to have a clean slate to work on this, and even with a working ad blocker the web has gotten worse than I realized. Near-constant distractions and interruptions.
Commented out almost all of my filters, will more carefully check/document/categorize things as I see them.
