I spend a lot of time on Youtube, and their recommendations are addictive, so I blocked the sidebar that recommends next videos.

I block scripts on news sites since they serve no purpose.It removes things like popups, autoplaying videos and comments.

And I have so many custom filters set up to block cookie prompts, annoyances and other stuff.

https://outline.com/ is also fantastic for this purpose.

Never works for me. Tried with dozens of links and multiple browsers.

Plus paywalls aren't really a problem. 2/3 clicks and they're gone
