Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there's just a few things over and over and over and they're not quite what you wanted. It's so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it's these same products again and again.

I've custom tailored my Amazon experience using my adblocker to delete pretty much any element that doesn't serve me.

This includes any and all ads, "recommended" items, "customers also bought..." listings, banners for their business account, and anything that isn't specifically relevant to the item I'm looking at.

I can't image using it vanilla. They'd lose my business.

Oh wow, that sounds fantastic. What adblocker is that, and how do you configure it?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm using Adguard, but most will have element blocking as a feature.

Basically, I select "block ads on this website", and I click on the element. A small box comes up where I can fine tune the selected element (I usually do this to get cleaner results), then I preview and confirm the setting.

I'm able to then take that filter, and use it pretty much anywhere else that I use adguard (Android phone, another computer, etc.). It's awesome.

But like I said, most adblockers will have this feature, including the popular ublock origin. It might just be under a different name.

You can do this for any website :)

Is this all on a desktop/laptop computer? I’m on my phone 95% of the time but I see a lot of conversations on Lemmy about how to block ads or work around YouTube’s restrictions (or whatever) and they make it seem like people are on a desktop full time. I guess it’s just a little surprising to me if that’s the case.

UBlock Origin works on Firefox Mobile for Android the same as on Desktop. It's only Apple users who eat shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

On Apple we have Firefox focus, it’s a single tab browser with Adblock. Works for YouTube and other websites.

As long as you can run the adguard browser extension in a mobile browser, then you can add new elements to block.

But if that's not an option, you can create those rules on a desktop browser, then add them to Adguard on mobile (the app, not the browser extension).

As long as you have the rules in a filter list, it'll work anywhere. These amazon specific sanitation rules may already be available on public adblocking lists, and in that case, they could work regardless of the adblocking app being used.

Thank you very much indeed, knowledgeable internet stranger.

Yeah I've been doing that for years on every site I use frequently (so far that I even got my own YouTube filter list on github). It doesn't help with broken searches ignoring operators, but it makes the web a much better place nonetheless!
