New best story on Hacker News: My uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions

My uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
413 by mig4ng | 166 comments on Hacker News.
Repository with my filter lists that block some distractions from sites I want to keep using. I am pretty ruthless removing distractions from my life (e.g. no Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), but some tools I'd like to keep using some parts of it. E.g. Twitter/X, I dislike the feed but I like reading some threads that are shared here or on blog posts. Same for YouTube, I enjoy some videos but I do not want recommendations when I finish the video I was watching. Feel free to suggest more, open issues, pull requests or send me an email :)
