Remove Headers Stuck To The Top Of Websites You View? Like The menus At the top of websites that take up half the screen and dont go away when you scroll down.
To deal with sticky headers specifically, you can also subscribe to the Web Annoyances Ultralist (theSubscribe button is on the sidebar), but it might be a little too aggressive. If you have issues with it, report them directly to the list authors.

Additional filters
It seems like they do not contain at least one of the lists you mentioned (uBO Annoyances), IDK about the other 2.

If you aren’t using an adblocker, you’re making corporations money by existing

I made an add-on for Firefox that lets you cleanup the Unsplash site by removing the pay walled images from their new Unsplash+ service. Hope this helps a few people out there! 😊
You mean this?

Windows 11 Defender says uBlock Origin has Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
Yes and now it's working fine. The custom list I was using was https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances so maybe that one got flagged.

YouTube Free is Silently Testing 5 Ads, instead of 2, Before Your Video Starts
hide things that are not ads (see https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances/ and the settings page of uBO)

Adguard firefox extension really slows down YouTube, Google translate and Google maps… what can I do?
I guess you can try Web Annoyances Ultralist and/or Dandelion's Annoyances. If they are too aggressive for you, you can add the parts from the list you want. It's all in the repo.
- Are there any apps, browsers maybe that will get rid of things like these?

AI bots are now better than humans at decoding CAPTCHAs
The captcha buster extension[^0] along with the service on you computer to move the mouse for you works very very well. It uses google’s TTS (afaik) to transcribe the audio captcha. It’s google verifying another google service works well. I find it very satisfying to not provide my labor to train googles computer vision corpus but instead have the snake bite it’s own tail.
Anyway, I highly recommend buster, I barely notice captchas anymore with it.

How to bypass Captchas, especially Cloudflare ones?
I was thinking something like Buster, an extension to "bypass" ReCaptchas.

How do you guys deal with all the captchas?
If you use Firefox than use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/ to automatically solve captchas otherwise change your search engine to DuckDuckGo, your privacy will thank you.

Hacking Google ReCAPTCHA v3 Using Reinforcement Learning
reCAPTCHA allows for audio challenges as accessibility fallback. And this has been a loophole for a long time to automatically solve them via google's own speech-to-text API https://github.com/dessant/buster
- Switch to using Bing because of this. Really getting tired of it. (Was)

Ask HN: Are there any working ReCAPTCHA bypass plugins for Firefox?
What extensions are you looking at? I'm not sure how you missed the popular ones like Buster[1], NopeCHA[2] or 2Captcha Solver[3].

Captchas are getting to hard
One useful trick I learned is to look for the audio captcha, for accessibility purpose they must provide one and usually it's way easier than those clunky images. Some tools also automate the audio recognition like Buster, AI solving AI challenges sounds interesting !
