@jbayes Hiya, keen to understand more (and hopefully help). What distracting items are you trying to hide?

@jbayes this is like half the reason I use ublock origin! Thank you lightning button! If only you worked more reliably... Like... If you were built into the browser...

There have been exactly two innovations in web browsers in the last 16 years:
1. "Show Reader Automatically" in 2010;
2. "Hide Distracting Items" in 2024.Everything else has either been a waste of goddamned time, or actively malicious. Mostly the latter.
@jwz Vivaldi is experimenting with tiling tabs, which looks interesting. Those guys are probably worth watching, as they don't waste their time with slop.

@elladan Yeah, I appreciate that Ublock Origin tries, but it's difficult enough to use that it's usually easier to find a different workaround.

@plwt Stuff that obscures the content on the page. See OP:

3. Vimperator extension for Firefox (can't remember the year). Using vim keys for absolutely everything was a boost.
Tridactyl is carrying the torch the best it can with new limitations on the browser.

@jwz 3. the indicator which tab plays the annoying sound?

@jwz I have never thought to hide website footers, thanks for that idea.

@philnelson @jwz @cstross It only appears if they detect that the page is some other language and depending on privacy settings they may be unwilling to attempt that
@philnelson @jwz @cstross @malwareminigun there's metadata a page author can set in there that'd make that a non-issue. This can be set per element (you can be lazy and set it for the whole page, or individual paragraphs, divs, or spans and so on)

@jwz Love that the example is the Macalope! I feel like there used to be more semi-mainstream curmudgeonly tech critics, but he’s almost the last ungulate standing.

@jwz what about the thing that autofills 2 factor codes from sms?

Nuovi materiali protagonisti oggi alle 13.45 e alle 21.45 su RaiNews24. In #FUTURO24 vi mostreremo dei progetti innovativi nati all'Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, dove si cercano alternative alle terre rare e si sviluppano sensori miniaturizzati e sostenibili. Vi aspettiamo!

Altre realtà esistono, ma sono poche ed ovviamente ancora piú disperse. Forse LS è la piú grossa istanza che non ricade in quelle due categorie, ed anche loro hanno problemi comunque a “moderare” le ondate di discussioni politiche che inevtiabilmente arrivano in corrispondenza di eventi di rilievo.
Poi si può discutere sul fatto che alla fine il problema è il “collasso di contesto” del formato del microblogging non categorizzato, problema che non si ha sui forum. >

@ju @stefano_zan eh, tu pensa il povero @matz tutti i discorsi di informatica e tecnologia che si è dovuto sorbire 8-D
Comunque una grossa parte del problema è che gli italiani sul Fediverso, a parte essere pochi, sono concentrati o su server *caraterizzati* da un'ispirazione politica (di stampo anarchico, ma comunque politica) o su un'istanza generalista criptofascista (pardon, “neoliberaldemocristiana”).
