I disable everything except first-party images and CSS by default and it&amp;#x27;s like a whole new internet.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s a bit of a dance you have to get used to when things don&amp;#x27;t work, but I&amp;#x27;ve got it into muscle memory now so I don&amp;#x27;t even think about it. I tend to click around in there enabling the first few obvious things for about 3 seconds, which works 95% of the time, and for the the remaining 5% the URL gets copy-pasted into Chromium.&lt;p&gt;Wait, what are all these floating obstructions? I thought I disabled all JS... hang on, you mean CSS is now full of animations and distractions too? &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&amp;#x2F;en-US&amp;#x2F;firefox&amp;#x2F;addon&amp;#x2F;unstickall&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&amp;#x2F;en-US&amp;#x2F;firefox&amp;#x2F;addon&amp;#x2F;unstickall&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;gagarine&amp;#x2F;no-transition&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;gagarine&amp;#x2F;no-transition&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#x27;s that? Sticky sidebar full of chum? No problem - uBlock Origin&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;right click, block element&amp;quot; to the rescue.&lt;p&gt;The internet doesn&amp;#x27;t have to be shit any more!</text></comment>
