YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.



Partnered Communities:

You can view our partnered communities list by following this link. To partner with our community and be included, you are free to message the moderators or comment on a pinned post.

Man, this extension is vital for the internet. Do they take donations at all?

Not all heroes wear capes

Does it still work? Last few times I’ve tried it it didn’t do much.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago

Not on Chrome, on Firefox it does wonders

Does it only block the pop-up or does it deny consent for anything but necessary cookies?

Because that's quite essential I think

Ublock has been slightly better in my experience, and this doesn't require another extension.

Thanks for sharing though!

[–] Dju@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

uBO is way better, especially if you also know how to make filters yourself.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Agreed. Between those, userscripts, and custom css, the web is very different on my computer, and everyone else's.

Hiding elements with zapper is only temporary, so you should use the normal element picker instead.

But with uBO you can also do much more than just element hiding:

I'd like to throw consent-o-matic in as someone else suggested under one of my comments a while back :)

On mobile you can use Consent-o-matic

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can use uBO on firefox on android.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can use uBO on iOS now too. The Kagi search engine people have made a mobile browser (Orion) that supports Firefox and Chrome plugins!

My web browsing experience has drastically improved since I was finally able to get uBO back since my switch away from Android.

(And both on pc and android:)
