Some websites (like Yahoo) load *so much crap* that they defeat all of these countermeasures. For these websites, I use the "Element Blocker" plug-in, which lets you delete parts of the web-page, either for a single session, or permanently: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... 39/

Element Blocker – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Element Blocker for Firefox. Block popups, banners, chat widgets, notification bars, and more from appearing on any website.

It's ridiculous that websites put so many barriers up to a pleasant reading experience. A slow-moving avalanche of enshittogenic phenomena got us here. There's corporate enshittification, like Google/Meta's monopolization of ads and Meta/Twitter's crushing of the open web. 40/

There's regulatory enshittification, like the EU's failure crack down on companies the pretend that forcing you to click an endless stream of "cookie consent" popups is the same as complying with the GDPR. 41/
