A killfile that lets me automatically hide stories from a list of domains.
(The site as a whole doesn't want to enforce "if they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic"[0] but I personally would like to, e.g. by not showing stories from CNN.)

- Normille 4y agoThis ^^ I've been wishing for years that someone would write an equivalent of the Google Hit Hider by Domain *monkey script [0] for HN. As well as perma-blocking certain domains, I'd also like to be able to block submissions by certain users and, in an ideal world, be able to block submissions by keywords in title. For example, being able to block any article title containing 'cbd gummies' 'Evon Latrail' and 'scam or legit' would really improve the noise to signal ratio here!

- kbelder 4y agoThis was the only thing that came to my mind. There's several sites I'd like to block, not on ideological grounds, but simply because of the technical irritations. Sign in barriers, irritating ads, frustrating UX, etc. I always swear under my breath if I accidently click a medium link because I forgot to glance at the domain first.
