Every Flashing Element on Your Site Alienates and Enrages Users

• uBlock

  uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

> There’s no easy way to block the element with AdBlock without also removing important functional elements of the editor.

uBlock Origin can do this, either by removing an annoying class from an element or by modifying an element's style directly:

Here are a couple of my personal custom rules as example:

• libreddit

  283 4,996 5.2 Rust

  Private front-end for Reddit

  

I still wonder if flashing elements and the constant nudging is worth it. I sometimes think I'm the only one but apparently there are about 15 % that are heavily annoyed by this. And those are users that you either lose completely or that block every unnecessary item on your website with ad blockers or reader mode.

I can't stand using Reddit on a mobile browser constantly asking if I want to install their app. Fortunately, there are alternative frontends such as Libreddit or teddit [2]. I hope they survive the API war.
