kill-sticky

The leftmost icon on my browser toolbar is the "kill sticky" bookmarklet (https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky). I grew tired of sites hiding the dismiss buttons or omitting them entirely, so anytime something pops up on the page, I instinctively click that. Works on the vast majority of sites.

Fantastic article. I wish there was a crowdsourced “annoyances database” which people contribute information to everytime they kill an element on a page; it’d be amazing to have a browser extension that queries the database and auto-kills anything voted as annoying by the masses. Everyone has favorite addons - if you’re looking to expand, here are mine for iOS Safari. - Kill Sticky Scroll - hide dickbars and obnoxious overlays in front of the content. Use iOS Shortcuts app to create a new shortcut, set it to receive input from Share Sheet and add a “run javascript” then paste this js: https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky/blob/master/src/kill-s... (you’ll need to add a call to `completion()` to make it a valid Shortcuts js function) - AutoPiP: automatic picture-in-picture when tabbing away from a playing video in Safari https://github.com

Nowadays even more vital than 12 years ago. Things have not gotten better in the meantime. I've been using the Kill Sticky bookmarklet for that: https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky.git

Threw together a bookmarklet that sends a page over to a personal, private subreddit the other day that I've been using a ton. Also a HUGE fan of kill-sticky. Would love to throw some other good ones up there. https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky javascript:(function()%7Bdocument.querySelectorAll(%22body%20*%22).forEach(function(node)%7Bif(%5B%22fixed%22%2C%22sticky%22%5D.includes(getComputedStyle(node).position))%7Bnode.parentNode.removeChild(node)%7D%7D)%3Bdocument.querySelectorAll(%22html%20*%22).forEach(function(node)%7Bvar%20s%3DgetComputedStyle(node)%3Bif(%22hidden%22%3D%3D%3Ds%5B%22overflow%22%5D)%7Bnode.style%5B%22overflow%22%5D%3D%22visible%22%7Dif(%22hidden%22%3D%3D%3Ds%5B%22overflow-x%22%5D)%7Bnode.style%5B%22overflow-x%22%5D%3D%22visible%22%7Dif(%22hidden%22%3D%3D%3Ds%5B%22overflow-y%22%5D)%7Bnode.style%5B%22overflow-y%22%5

Here's some tools that help make the web suck a little bit less: Kill Sticky: https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky NoScript: https://noscript.net/ Reader mode: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=browser+reader+mode Or yeah just close it. Life's too short to put up with websites that hate you. I rarely bother visiting Medium or Substack articles because of how hostile they are to readers.

Kill Sticky bookmarklet[1]. Also works on mobile. Get in the habit of clicking it, you'll start using it a lot to recover that extra inch of vertical space that web devs love to take away from you for some bizarre reason. [1] https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky NoScript[2] often prevents them from showing up in the first place, but it's a bit bigger lift to get used to using. [2] https://noscript.net/

NoScript[1] & Kill Sticky[2] are mandatory for browsing the modern web. [1] https://noscript.net/ [2] https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky

I'm going to change your life: https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky It's a bookmarklet that gets rid of sticky elements. It nukes those stupid fucking headers and footers and kills most cookie banners and "give me your email" type pop-ups. Works in every browser (I use it in Safari on iOS and Firefox on desktop). I almost reflexively go hit this bookmarklet on every website now. It makes the web so much better.

https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky works on most of them.

I didn't even realize that "Whatever" was the dismiss button. The Kill Sticky bookmarklet is your friend: https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/ There's a newer version, but it breaks a number of sites for me, so I don't use it: https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky The internet is a hostile place without Kill Sticky, uBlock Origin, and uBlock Matrix.
