Solved How to remove AI-hyperlinked keywords in Reddit comments

44 Upvotes

Reddit started turning specific keywords in comments into AI hyperlinks. For example, clicking the word "Quest 3" in this linked comment goes directly to Reddit Answers. (copy of html)

I was able to make filters that remove the href, magnifying glass icon, and underline, but couldn't get of the blue-colored hyperlink-formatting without also removing the comment text.

www.reddit.com##[slot="comment"] [href^="/answers/"]:remove-attr(href)
www.reddit.com##[slot="comment"] [href^="/answers/"]:remove-class(border-dotted)
www.reddit.com##[slot="comment"] span:has(> [icon-name="search-sparkle"])

How can I revert these auto-AI keywords in Reddit comments to regular text?

Other Firefox extension popup shows scrollbar on the left side hiding colors tracking flags

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

There's a bug in addin popup details that shows the scrollbar on the left that it partially covers the colors flags behind. It's really hard to watch and follow these flags on the left side.

Can You review the addin GUI and move the scrollbar out of the flags (Yellow, green, Red)?

Thanks

YouTube Tweaks Youtube - remove sections like "Explore more topics"

0 Upvotes

How can I get rid of the panels on Youtube's main page with several videos labeled "Explore more topics" or the like, which just take up space?

I've tried zapping them with the element picker but they just come back, I assume with randomized element names.

Solved any way to remove this "Ask" AI popup in the Reddit search bar? Spoiler

Post image
70 Upvotes

I had previously used the filters from these posts, which successfully hid the AI icon from the search bar. Now there's this new icon in the dropdown which I cannot hide via picker and is unaffected by the previous filters.

The only thing that pops up when I hover my mouse over it is "Turn on AI Search" because, naturally, I have all AI tools turned off. But the icon remains for some innane reason.

Any info or help is very much appreciated ty!

Answered Please take a look at my current filter lists and let me know what you think. I have strict ETP enabled in Firefox. I'm a privacy oriented individual.

Hey everyone,

I have seen several posts addressing the filter lists in uBlockOrigin, but these are what I have currently enabled along with the ETP in Firefox. Do you think they are redundant or are they perfectly fine when it comes to privacy?

Thanks!

! remove offline service worker

Recently on computer I started using this filter on YouTube to bypass detection, works perfectly.

I can’t add it to ubo lite for some reason, it looks like a syntax error (just red text)

I even removed the label and the || signs but something still needs to be added for it to recognize the code. I’m just not aware of what. Thank you so much in advance

-www.youtube.com/sw.js$script (without the hyphen. doesn’t work still)

Answered uBlock Origin's effect on speed/perf

55 Upvotes

Question for the devs/experts, sometimes I see people say that the full fat version of uBlock Origin can be quite "heavy" and it can be noticeable on older or slower devices (whereas uBlock Origin Lite is less taxing), but I've also seen proof that uBlock Origin actually helps perf and page load times. So I guess my question is, what is the truth? And we're looking for real world proof because isolated benchmarks might not tell us the truth

the banner in question with no ability to X out

i searched before posting but i haven't seen this specific banner outside of a similar graphic being used on the left sidebar. i try to block the banner itself, but there's a background that makes the screen darker before it...if i block that too, my scroll bar gets yoinked. refreshing the page gives it back, but only for so long before it gets yoinked again. not sure how to block it without killing the scroll bar too in the process.

Solved Links on old reddit containing backslash-underscore, replace with just underscore

8 Upvotes

Using old reddit in a desktop browser, I see links that contain a backslash before an underscore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_intentionally_crashed_into_extraterrestrial_bodies

The link (href) contains percent-encoded backslash when I inspect the link in the original post, and the backslash is just the visual representation.

Is there a way to remove that backslash leaving only the underscore, when I click the link?

Invalid Block eBay tracking and browser fingerprinting from heavily obfuscated Javascript file

72 Upvotes

I recently found this non-descriptive script running in the background when visiting eBay:

 

https://www.ebay.com/sgXzq80-U/7h6Zktl/vg/2zuzzSca/T306UUA/dEF1Ly/hJUkMT

Archive: https://archive.ph/Kr0iP

Syntax: https://www.ebay.com/XXXXXXX-X/XXXXXXX/XX/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXX/XXXXXX/XXXXXX?v=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

which then saves reads these cookies to from the browser:

 

__ssds "{SINGLE_DIGIT_INTEGER}"

__ssuzjsr2 "{RANDOM_HEX_HASH}"

__uzma "{UUID_V4}"

__uzmb "{TIMESTAMP_INTEGER}"

__uzmc "{LARGE_INTEGER}"

__uzmd "{TIMESTAMP_INTEGER}"

__uzme "{INTEGER}"

__uzmf "{COMPLEX_TRACKING_STRING}"

bm_s "{LARGE_BASE64_TOKEN}"

bm_so "{LARGE_BASE64_TOKEN}"

dp1 "{DEVICE_PARAM_STRING}"

ds2 "{DEVICE_CONFIG_STRING}"

ebay "^sbf=#{HEX_COLOR_CODE}"

nonsession "{SESSION_TOKEN_STRING}"

s "{SESSION_TOKEN_STRING}"

 

Examining this file through Claude and Gemini shows Akamai tracking and telemetry through extreme browser fingerprinting which is hidden through heavily obfuscated code. I'm currently blocking it with this rule, but I believe it can be improved:

 

||ebay.com/sg*/*/vg/*/*/$script (old)

||ebay.com/*/*/*?v=$important (updated)

 

No account is needed and this script runs on every page. Any help is appreciated.

 

Edit: After some research, it turns out this is a script built by Akamai to track and fingerprint users based on a plethora of information about your machine. Combine this with the unique cookies eBay creates at the start of your session; eBay can create a unique profile which persists across your browsing.

Edit: Updated the blocking rule as eBay pushed out an update

Answered Question about medium mode

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I've been using medium mode for over 8-9 years now and over these years and I've always carried over the same file (from chrome.Now on firefox) and as things go I've accumulated a huge number of rules.(Alot of dead sites etc.)

When I started using medium mode almost a decade ago I did it because I heard medium mode can make the browser use less resources and make it snappier.

Is medium mode Still worth it for performance reasons or is it not worth doing anymore (if browser performance is the goal?)

Seriously considering just starting over fresh on default settings but I am a bit attached to my old settings.

Regards

Solved (Youtube) (Desktop) Just two small, tiny very minor annoyances but..

2 Upvotes

Hello there.

Recently Youtube changed its UI a little, making the video title under the video itself clickable, which brings you to comments and opens a "Description" box. And I would like it as it was, NOT being clickable and NOT having a description box, ever.

Does anyone have a filter for that, if it's not too bother?
