Very neat!
For Safari users, don’t overlook that beautiful “Hide Distracting Items” menu which lets you block specific items elements on a per-site basis. Want to permanently hide a popover dialog? Hide it! Hide the comments section. Hide fog layers that obscure the content behind them. I use this all the time.
- jjice 9mo agoI can't believe I didn't know about this. I had to track down mediocre extensions to try to replicate UBlock's element blocking. I did find that Adguard was pretty okay, but this looks much nicer.
- throawayonthe 9mo agouBO lite is available for safari though: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id6745342698 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269...
- jjice 9mo agoYeah it is now, but it wasn't at the time. I have both Adguard and uBlock Origin Lite installed now. uBlock Origin came out about six months ago (saw on HN): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44795825 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44795825
- nozzlegear 9mo agoI don't think it's actually permanent though, is it? The items will eventually come back.
- kstrauser 9mo agoIt's permanent. However, behind the scenes I'm sure it's using CSS selectors to identify the element you're blocking, and if the server changes that, then it wouldn't detect that exact element anymore.
