Might be scope for upstream projects to add a new group like "uBlock Focus" where blocks are to focus main content?

Before IT took away all plugins (!) I used uBlock this way, hiding sidebars and leads that weren't conducive to work (eg interesting stuff).

They really like dealing with users and their malware infections I guess. It's the only possible explanation given that uBlock Origin is probably the most effective anti-malware software in existence.

>Before IT took away all plugins

weird decision, I push plugins to lots of my customers (uBlock Origin)

indeed, one could argue a reputable adblocker is paramount to endpoint/enduser security these days

So? Any corporation would argue that about the annoyances on their properties.

I thought people used those list because it cleaned up the websites without breaking them. This is largely breaking the websites, only letting through a very opinionated subset of functionalities.

Even if it's nice for people who want just this, I don't think this has its place on the annoyances lists you mentioned.

No they wouldn't?

Annoyances are mainly for things like cookie popup or copy-protection etc. I doubt companies would argue these are their "core features".

the main timeline is a core feature of twitter for most people.

why not both? the site pushes their features, the user filters their annoyance and we all normalize the wasted resources.
