Ublock, could you please block scripts and frames on this webpage?

There, annoying popup gone.

Firefox reader mode also works most of the time.

Firefox reader mode is great. I started using it just to avoid having to tell sites to piss off with their cookies, and to dodge some paywalls, but now I use it on a lot of sites even when there aren't any dialogs to dodge.

I actually prefer having articles take up my screen width rather than be all squashed into a skinny little column in the centre. It's also nice when trying to read someone's blog with questionable text colour.

I hope they add local font support as well sometime, or more font options at least.

You can choose any font you have locally available by setting the "reader.font_type" to the font name in about:config

You can also set "reader.content_width" to values beyond the 9 allowed by the UI to have the text take up even more of your screen width. Setting it to 12 is just about perfect for me.

These values will be lost if you update the font style or the width via the Reader "Text and Layout" menu though. For fonts, you might be able to avoid that by putting fonts you want to be able to select from in the "reader.font_type.values" list but I haven't tried that.

Oh my, thank you very much for this!

Ublock also has an adblocker blocker

[-] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 28 points 4 months ago

Wouldn't that be an adblocker blocker blocker?

But the corpos have wisened up, and deployed the adblocker blocker blocker blocker. We responded with the adblocker blocker blocker blocker blocker. They responded. Anyway, we're up to adblocker blocker⁸⁵¹⁶.
