  As if on cue, I couldn't read past the first paragraph because of two different popups trying to get me to subscribe.

      Was WIRED ever not just the johnny-come-lately of tech hype-cycle?

        Surely that's boingboing. I always thought their tagline should be "last month's news, today!"

    Get uBlock Origin and turn on the annoyance filter to make your life infinitely better.

      Thanks for this! Long time ublock user but never new about these filters

        Same here, hadn't heard of them. Thanks. :) Just went in the UBlock Origin settings... and yep, there are 14 potential "annoyance" filters. Just turned them on an applied them. Lets see how it goes...

          Most of those must be new additions. Whenever I set up a new browser I enable every list, and I only had 5 annoyance lists enabled. I'm glad I checked again!

        I can never decide if it's reasonable that they're off by default (they break more things, and they're not "ads") or if it's an obvious missed opportunity to improve millions of people's lives. Either way: yes, annoyances++. It helps a lot.
