I use uBlock Origin for a banlist of sites and keywords that are repeat offenders for off-topic[0] HN posts: https://pifke.org/hn.txt https://pifke.org/hn.txt My rules hide the title line but not the number of comments/points, and sometimes I'll click through stories that have been highly upvoted, to see what I'm missing (rarely anything of interest to me). [0]: I consider "off-topic" to be anything "they'd cover on TV news," per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. A lot of the blocked sites are quite literally TV news sites.

Heya, you can take inspiration the rules I posted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35676840 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35676840 for hiding the second line and the separator. I messed up the last newline, the bottom block is the following two lines: news.ycombinator.com##html:not([op="item"]) tr.spacer + tr:not(.athing):remove() news.ycombinator.com##html:not([op="item"]) tr.spacer + tr.spacer:remove() I'll make it a letsblock.it template one day.
