> One third-party filter list for uBO that I absolutely love is Web Annoyances Ultralist

Glad you find it useful!

Personal anecdote: While developing & maintaining a list it can be difficult to know if others are finding it useful because once it is being used (if it is done properly and doesn't break sites), there should be almost no feedback from the user base because they may just think the web is working as it should be and don't realize why it is how it is.

@yourduskquibble awesome list! Thanks :) . I've been actively searching for something like it a few weeks ago to get rid of sticky headers, and didn't find it. In my searches I used the term coined by John Gruber for annoying stick headers: "dickbar" [0]. Maybe consider adding it to the list of GitHub keywords?

Also, to iOS passersby: here's an annoyances blocker for your Safari blocking pleasure: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unobstruct/id1255281426

Great suggestion I will add that. How discovery happens for others is great info.
