  This is a superpower, I had uBlock but didn't realise it had the element picker feature. It took seconds to clear up the annoying parts of YT. Cheers for the recommendation.

    Glad to hear it. Note how it can also re-style elements, eg restoring the old (non-bold) Youtube titles www.youtube.com##h3.title:style(font-weight: 400 !important;) or un-float navbars: ! Disable floating navbars nytimes.com##.live-blog-above-main-content:style(position:absolute !important) latimes.com##header[data-element=header]:style(position:absolute !important) wired.com##.persistent-top:style(position:absolute !important) vice.com##.nav-bar:style(position:absolute !important) You can even run a selection of scripts from a built-in library.[0] For instance, to disable Youtube rollover previews (including network traffic), you can interrupt the event handler with addEventListener-defuser: www.youtube.com##+js(aeld, /^(?:mousemove|pointermove|pointerenter|mouseenter|mouseleave)$/, buttons) The best thing is to read the wiki (which I procrastinated for way too long!), especially the parts on filter syntax[1][2] and blocking modes[3]. I used uBO for years without appreciating its full power. Maybe this whets your interest.
