@RenRav Whats your workflow for 'ad-blocking away all the unnecessary elements'? Sounds like a lot of work to me, but I do not work with the web.

- chronogram 8y agoI’m not that user, but you can set a key bind to the uBlock element picker so you can quickly select and create rules all graphically. It’s like a scissor through a newspaper, not a lot of work at all!
- RenRav 8y agoIt's mostly something I do after discovering a useful site I'll likely be revisiting in the future, sites with appreciable content but are otherwise marred with poor visuals. When you've been doing it for years revisiting the same sites, I think it pays for itself in terms of delivering more presentable information. Addons for Firefox include Aardvark, (generic) Element Hiding Helpers, Lizard, Nuke Anything. You press whatever shortcut is assigned and highlight the element your cursor is over (or highlighted text/section), an interface pops up, you specify the domain filter (twitter.com), and filter by attribute (import-prompt), OK, and the rule "twitter.com##.import-prompt" now forever hides twitter's annoying import flex module. The addons for Firefox I've seen are mostly GUI-based. An exception is Nuke Anything, which I believe can be done through keyboard and context menu options.
