  My personal and very opinionated uBlock Origin filters

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

Thanks for sharing.

• uAssets

  376 3,512 10.0 Adblock Filter List

  Resources for uBlock Origin, uMatrix: static filter lists, ready-to-use rulesets, etc.

  

If you use uBlock Origin, did you try to submit these filters to the uBlock Annoyances[1] or EasyList Annoyances lists before starting up this project?

That would help far more people that starting up yet another Annoyances list.

  🔐🌐 Privacy-respecting web frontends for popular services

I use something similar to this, the only differences are because my use case is privacy protection and avoiding algorithmic feeds. I use the Redirector extension for Firefox so that it redirects e.g. Youtube, Twitter, and StackOverflow links to the corresponding alternative frontends Piped, Nitter, and AnonymousOverflow. You can find maintained lists [1] [2] of such projects and their instances. Mostly they are FOSS and privacy-respecting, and they have distraction-free frontends because it's a helpful coincidence of being ethical software.
