Happy to share the resources :)
Wow the one for the annoying app spam is great! Thanks for that! So many times I looked up something to get annoyed with their stupid "oh no we are a web forum but you have to install our app so we make more moneeee" message
Classic enshitification
Check out the uBlock Wiki! uBlock can do so much more than just block elements or network requests, you can use scriptlets to get rid of so many annoyances or the :style() operator to make sites look better and cleaner, without having to add a whole userscript manager. And if you auto delete cookies/localstorage for privacy reasons like me, you can still keep some individual site settings with the trusted-set-cookie or trusted-set-local-storage-item scriptlets. Also the :has-text() selector is really useful to filter out some annoying keywords in social media posts, it even supports regex!
Can uBlock Origin autodelete cookies? Because I use cookie auto delete for that.
I have a couple that I found for youtube that block the cards on top of videos, and the little info things in the corners.
youtube.com##.html5-endscreen-content
youtube.com##.html5-endscreen
youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element
annotations_module.js$script,domain=youtube.com
/endscreen.js$script,domain=www.youtube.com
I didn't know this was possible, god damn I would love it if there was an add-on specifically for stuff like this, which you could then toggle independently of adblocker.
There is. Install ViolentMonkey (an open source Userscript Manager) then install Userscripts of your choice -here's a few for for Reddit.
Sinkit for Reddit does the job on iPhones. It isn’t Apollo, but it makes the web interface usable.
Does the old.reddit redirect work? I installed sinkit to try it out but it still loads the mobile interface even with redirect toggled on.
Edit: Nevermind, it worked after restarting. Thanks for the recommendation.
I used Redirector for old reddit. It allows me to redirect any URL to another based on wildcards or regex.
Here is the rule I use for it (save as a json file and import via the addon).

NoCoin filter. Blocks cryptominers on websites. Not sure if it still works or if it's needed, I think it's already included on another filter but also not sure.
Pretty sure RPAN has been gone for a few months now
Good to know, I don't think I've ever really seen it
twitter.com##*[aria-label="Timeline: Trending now"]
If you use Twitter still, this blocks the sidebar on the right that shows whats Trending when you're on your main timeline.
You can't even copy text logged out on reddit anymore?! Guessing it's new reddit, but damn..
There's one for twitch.tv called twitchadsolutons
I toggle all the lists and add on steven black hosts list filters
Is there a ‘proxy’ docker or application I can run that I can use for ublock that acts as a gateway so I could use its awesomeness on every device without configuring them?
I’m aware of Pihole but these additions look amazing and are obviously not dns based ?
I use AdGuard's premium apps but these should work just fine in browser based adblockers:
- Empty Padding Remover: Extremely useful on tablet and phones; can save some space on desktop.
- I don't want to download your browser: removes many prompts to download Chrome, Edge, etc.
- Browse Websites Without Logging In: Does what the name implies.
- Staying On The Phone Browser: removes most nags to download apps or companion apps for a “better experience”.
