Ask HN: Who else is tired of these web things?

The web has become borderline intolerable, and these things are among the reasons why. I've developed a "zero tolerance" habit. If a website throws up a surprise popup, I just immediately close the page and never go back. The only way to win is not to play.

I always go to ublock origin settings and load all “annoyances” lists which are off by default. Idk how much that helps, but worth trying I guess.

If you use uBlock with the annoyances filters enabled, the majority of those go away. I very rarely see them.

I click the reader mode button in Firefox, and if it doesn&#x27;t render as simplly text with some images (sometimes it&#x27;s just a stub, for example), then I bail.

Since i use firefox with these addons:<p>1. Ublock origin<p>2. Cookieblock with an additional list that fixed some misscategorization<p>3. Consent-o-matic<p>No

I generally disable JavaScripts, and I disable many other things as well, so many of these things are not displayed on my computer anyways.

I have noticed in general people don&#x27;t like pop-ups or modals, at least during the first-mile experience of the product.

That&#x27;s exactly why I&#x27;ve built a tool using LLMs that filters out this garbage before showing me the content.

Learn to use element zapper mode in ublock, I bound it to a shortcut, it&#x27;s a lifesaver...
