Personally I have to hide Stack Exchange’s trending questions on my work machine. Those things are catnip to me. askubuntu.com###hot-network-questions serverfault.com###hot-network-questions stackexchange.com###hot-network-questions stackoverflow.com###hot-network-questions superuser.com###hot-network-questions Also many sites disregard prefers-reduced-motion, so I’m often hiding visual distractions like endless carousels and cute decorative animations.

for the longest time, i never paid attention to that column, as my brain has pretty much been trained that anything in that column is useless fluff. until one day when i actually read some of those questions and was surprised by the questions being asked. i totally get the catnip. luckily, i have an off switch and can avoid becoming addicted.

Same here! Although my rules look a bit different because I simply use the element picker: stackoverflow.com##.c-pointer.js-quack-btn stackoverflow.com##.js-step01.js-step.step.ws-nowrap stackoverflow.com##.js-step02.js-step.step.has-width.ta-center stackoverflow.com##.quack-popover--arrow stackoverflow.com###overlay-header stackoverflow.com###feed-link stackoverflow.com##.mb16.s-anchors__default.s-anchors.s-sidebarwidget__yellow.s-sidebarwidget stackoverflow.com##.grid--cell.js-reactions stackoverflow.com##.mb16.s-anchors__grayscale.s-anchors.s-sidebarwidget__yellow.s-sidebarwidget Unfortunately, I also didn't comment what these are all for. But I think one of them is the banner, which might contain calls for voting and such. Another is the "Featured on Meta" box and the sidebar on the left which I never use. And the most recent thing, which isn't included above is the obnoxious popup for the "New Search AI Experience". And this does not even include the goddamn cookie banners, for which ublock has a separate rule set fortunately. Unfortunately, it's the rule set that leads to the most problems because some sites don't work correctly or don't load at all when the cookie banner has not been interacted with. I hate the modern internet without ublock.

  These with generated ids and classes might be hard to maintain. If you like to change those to the classes/ids that are human readable and easy to maintain, and comment them, feel free to contribute them here: https://github.com/mig4ng/ublock-origin-filters/pull/4 https://github.com/mig4ng/ublock-origin-filters/pull/4 Thanks for sharing.
