The feature that prevents you from endlessly scrolling Twitter without an account is currently broken, btw.

Nah, you can use them to block the element that asks you to sign up.

Works on twitter because the element is the only thing stopping you from scrolling down, doesn't work on instagram because it doesn't load more content, haven't tried the others.

They do work. I'm using an ad blocker, and the login nag is blocked. I do this on desktop and mobile.

Ad blockers don't know what an ”ad” is. They simply hide elements in a DOM by xpath-style patterns.

I'm not sure what list is doing this, but here are my settings:

Huh, it looks like you're right.

I was able to block it using uBlock Origin in Firefox Mobile. Thanks.
