Ask HN: Software to Grade Websites on "Annoyingness?"

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
https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances does that automatically

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?

Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)
SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/
A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.
The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.
The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

Irish State announce plan to build a porn preference register for most of the EU
I use a combination of:
- https://letsblock.it/ and Ublock Origin
- The Unhook plugin for Firefox
- Blocking channels on my YouTube account when I see something inappropriate
- Adguard Home also blocks certain channels
to try to moderate the YouTube content for my kids. It's not perfect, but it does get rid of a lot of garbage (like YouTube Shorts).

Show HN: uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
You should submit these rules to https://letsblock.it ! AFAIK their distractions rules really only cover YouTube
-
Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube
They're horrible.
Luckily you can use ublock origin and letsblockit, or other browser plugins, to completely erase them from YouTube.

Ask HN: What cool software utilities have you created?
https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.
